Bimetallic sulfide nanoparticles confined by dual-carbon nanostructures as anodes for lithium-/sodium-ion batteries

Abstract

Bimetallic sulfide ((Ni0.3Co0.7)9S8) nanoparticles confined by dual-carbon nanostructures are prepared by pyrolyzing a mixture of surfactant-intercalated layered double hydroxide and melamine, and deliver a highly reversible capacity and decent rate capability as anode nanomaterials for lithium- and sodium-ion batteries.
