Two dimensional graphene–SnS₂hybrids with superior rate capability for lithium ion storage

Abstract

A novel porous nanoarchitecture composed of 2D graphene–SnS2 (G–SnS2) units is developed via a two-step approach in this work. The special structure endows the high-rate transportation of electrolyte ions and electrons throughout the electrode matrix, resulting in remarkable electrochemical performance when it was used as anode in lithium ion batteries.
