▎ 摘  要

Herein, we report on the synthesis of phase-pure antimony oxychloride (Sb4O5Cl2) microstructures and studies on their electrochemical properties as new and potential anodes for sodium and lithium ion batteries. We demonstrate that pristine Sb4O5Cl2 based electrode exhibits promising electrochemical behaviour, with a reversible discharge capacity of 830 mAh g(-1) for the first cycle when cycled against sodium at a current rate of 30 mA g(-1). Further, a composite of graphene aerogel is prepared with Sb4O5Cl2 microstructures, which are uniformly anchored on the graphene aerogel matrix (Sb4O5Cl2-GA), resulting in interconnected networks which facilitate better charge transfer and effective buffering to alleviate the structural variation of Sb4O5Cl2 during cycling. We show that Sb4O5Cl2-GA electrode exhibits excellent electrochemical properties with much improved cyclic stability and high rate capability. In addition, Sb4O5Cl2-GA delivers excellent performance as anode material for lithium ion batteries, with a reversible capacity of 600 mAh g(-1) obtained over 50 cycles, at a current rate of 50 mA g(-1). The obtained results are promising and demonstrate 3D networked antimony oxychloride/graphene composite as a potential anode material for both lithium and sodium ion batteries. (c) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
