“…Of these structures, the former three nano-scaled tin sulfides usually show many benefits in terms of fast kinetics and high activity in practical applications for their small sizes and large surface area effects, while simultaneously suffer from some shortcomings, for instance, low thermodynamic and chemical stability and thereby short cycle life in harsh conditions, since the high activity of them toward surface reactions can readily accelerate their corrosion, damage and inactivation [2,13]. Compared to them, the latter micro-scaled tin sulfide microflowers always present porous 3D hierarchical and spherical morphologies assembled by plenty of nano-sized building units, e.g.…”

“…And the tin sulfide photocatalyst consisting of flowerlike 3D hierarchical microstructures were detected to perform much higher photocatalytic activity and longer cycle life [15]. The significant improvement of these 3D hierarchical tin sulfides to the related device performances was widely considered to profit from the combination of their complex assembled microstructures and nano-sized building units [2,13].…”

“…Therefore, the synthesis of them with new and unique hierarchitectures is becoming increasingly attractive. Till now, a variety of synthesis techniques have been employed, including thermal evaporation [16], template method [10], hydrothermal/ solvothermal method [11][12][13][14][15], etc. However, to our knowledge, almost no any distinct results have yet been acquired, apart from the previously reported 3D hierarchical tin sulfide microflowers assembled by nanopetals [2], nanoplates [11], nanosheets [12], nanorods [14], nanobelts, etc.…”

a b s t r a c tSnS is an important semiconductor and its performance depends greatly on its morphology and 3D architecture. So the synthesis for it with specific structures has been widely paid attention. Herein, a novel hollow nanoparticle-based SnS crystal product with microcluster-like 3D network hierarchitectures was developed, via a template-assisted solvothermal route in diethylene glycol (DEG) solvent, followed by annealing in N 2 atmosphere and subsequent corrosion of template by dilute acid. CaCO 3 nanoparticles were used as the template, SnCl 2 as the tin source, thiourea and L-cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate (Cys) as two different sulfur sources for a comparison study. Results show that successful fabrication of the hollow-structured SnS product mentioned above was achieved only in the case of using Cys as the sulfur source, mainly due to much stronger adhesion of Cys on CaCO 3 template and microcluster-like stacking patterns of CaCO 3 nanoparticles in DEG solvent. This novel 3D hierarchical SnS product owns 1-5 times higher specific surface area, unique hollow nanostructure units with rich mesopores inside the shells, and scattering-enhanced absorption in UV-vis light region, as against those previously reported micro-scale tin sulfide 3D hierarchitectures assembled by nanopetals, nanosheets, nanorods, nanobelts, etc. So it should have much more extensive and promising applications.

Controlled growth of flower-like SnS 2 hierarchical structures was obtained by a facile hydrothermal method with the mixture solution of SnCl 4 and L-cysteine (L-cys). The results of electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction characterization indicated that morphology, structure, and crystallinity of the hierarchical structures were seriously dependent on the concentration of L-cys, mole ratio of Sn 4+ to L-cys and temperature. Electrochemical tests demonstrated that the flower-like SnS 2 hierarchical structures exhibited superior cycling performance for anode materials of Li-ion batteries, which retained a high reversible capacity of 418 mAhg −1 and stable cyclic retention at 100th cycle. These results show that the flower-like SnS 2 hierarchical structures were suitable for using as anode material in lithium-ion batteries.

the LIBs. Considerable improvements in the design and optimization of anode composition and structure are still required.This note reports our design and implementation of a SnS 2based nanocomposite anode for the NIBs. SnS 2 has a CdI 2 -type of layered structure (a = 0.3648 nm, c = 0.5899 nm, space group P3m1) consisting of a layer of tin atoms sandwiched between two layers of hexagonally close packed sulfur atoms. This layered structure with a large interlayer spacing (c = 0.5899 nm) should easy the insertion and extraction of guest species and adapt more easily to the volume changes in the host during cycling. This has been confi rmed by the performance of SnS 2 as a reversible lithium storage host in several studies. [ 17 ] The electrochemical properties of layered sulfi des (SnS 2 , MoS 2 , WS 2 ) were further improved by integration with graphene. The structural compatibility between the two layered compounds and the good electronic properties of graphene led to very stable composites (i.e. long cycle-life) with high reversible capacity and good rate performance in LIB applications. [ 18 ] The SnS 2 layer structure should also be viable for reversible Na + storage since, in comparison with tin and other tin-based materials, it has the largest buffer for the volume changes in Na-Sn reactions. The LIB developmental efforts also suggest layer-structured SnS 2reduced graphene oxide (SnS 2 -RGO) nanocomposites as an improved version of the SnS 2 anode.The design of the SnS 2 -RGO hybrid structure for reversible storage of Na + was based on the following materials principles: 1) a large interlayer spacing in the SnS 2 structure benefi ting Na + intercalation and diffusion, and more buffering space for benefi cial adjustment the volume changes in the host during cycling; 2) fast collection and conduction of electrons through a highly conductive RGO network; and 3) inhibition of Sn (Na x Sn) aggregation during cycling by RGO after material hybridization. The experimental results validated the expectations: the SnS 2 -RGO anode delivered a high charge (desodiation) specifi c capacity of 630 mAh g −1 at 0.2 A g −1 , and more impressively, 544 mAh g −1 after a ten-fold increase in current density to 2 A g −1 . The electrode was also very stable to cycling; providing a nearly unvarying capacity of 500 mAh g −1 at 1 A g −1 even after 400 charge-discharge cycles.The SnS 2 -RGO nanocomposite was produced by a facile hydrothermal route from a mixture of tin (IV) chloride, thioacetamide (TAA) and graphene oxide (GO) (details in the Experimental Section). In the comparison of the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the SnS 2 -RGO composite, SnS 2 and GO in Figure 1 a, GO only displayed a single diffraction peak at 10.9° from the (002) planes. [ 19 ] The powder XRD patterns of SnS 2 and The idea of sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) as a substitute of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for grid-scale energy storage was initially driven by cost considerations. [ 1 ] Research in the last several years has shown that NIBs are not necessar...
