“…These difficulties can be mitigated by nanostructuring, particularly when the active material is embedded in an elastic and conductive network that helps to enhance electronic transport and reduce the cycling instability caused by volumetric changes in the conversion-alloying-type anode material 36,46,47 . Specifically, in the last few years, extensive effort has focused on various forms of nanostructured Sb 2 S 3 , such as Sb 2 S 3 nanowires 24,[48][49][50][51] , nanorods 45,52,53 , nanoparticles (NPs) 37,54-57 , nanocables 58 , and Sb 2 S 3 /C nanocomposites 23 , to maximize the anodic charge-storage capacity and improve the cycling performance. Notably, the electrochemical performance of highly uniform colloidal Sb 2 S 3 NPs has not been reported.…”
