Electrochemical properties of bare nickel sulfide and nickel sulfide–carbon composites prepared by one-pot spray pyrolysis as anode materials for lithium secondary batteries

The application of nanostructured transition metal sulfides as anodes for lithium ion batteries

“…The spraying-related methods are usually applied to prepare nanostructured metal sulfides with spherical morphology [52] . Up to now, the non-stoichiometric Cu 2 S x , MoS 2 /carbon/graphene composite, nickel sulfide and nickel sulfidecarbon composites, WS 2 -carbon microspheres and so on have been fabricated successfully by the spray-related methods [44,[53][54][55] .…”

“…Liu et al [44] used a hydrothermal approach combined with the spraying coagulation process and calcination step to get composite microspheres consisting of molybdenum disulfide, amorphous carbon, and reduced graphene oxide (MoS 2 -AC-rGO). Son et al [54] prepared nickel sulfide-carbon composites and bare nickel sulfide by one-pot spray pyrolysis method ( Fig. 5 ).…”

l-Cysteine-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of nickel disulfide/graphene composite with enhanced electrochemical performance for reversible lithium storage

“…Among the family of transition metal sulfides, nickel sulfides have caused a special attention due to their interesting electronic, magnetic, optical properties [14,15] and their multiple potential applications including LIBs [9e13], supercapacitors [16e18] and catalysts [19,20]. It was reported that the various phases of nickel sulfides such as NiS [9], Ni 3 S 2 [10,11], Ni 3 S 4 [12], Ni 7 S 6 [13] exhibited higher specific capacity as anode materials of LIBs compared to graphite anode material. The electrochemical lithium storage of the nickel sulfides is based on the conversion reaction (NiS x þ 2xLi ¼ Ni þ xLi 2 S).…”

One‐Pot Method for Synthesizing Spherical‐Like Metal Sulfide–Reduced Graphene Oxide Composite Powders with Superior Electrochemical Properties for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

“…Various types of metal sulfides have been actively studied as suitable candidates for anode materials to be used in lithiumion batteries (LIBs) because of their high theoretical capacities and low cost. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] However, the large volume change of metal sulfides during lithium insertion and extraction processes, like transition metal oxides, results in poor electrochemical properties of LIBs. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] To solve this problem, various types of metal sulfide-graphene composite materials prepared by liquid solution methods have been successfully employed as anode materials in LIBs.…”
