▎ 摘　　要

Layer-by-layered SnS2/graphene (LL-SnS2/G) hybrid nanosheets are fabricated via a simple ball-milling of SnS2 nanoplates obtained through hydrothermal treatment and commercial graphene. When assessed as anode materials for LIBs, LL-SnS2/G shows a high initial reversible capacity of 696.27 mAh g(-1) with a high initial coulombic efficiency (74.16%) at 200 mA g(-1), and negligible capacity fading over 180 cycles. Moreover, LL-SnS2/G also has an excellent rate capability, which delivers a high capacity of 567.78 mAh g(-1) at 2000 mA g(-1). Benefits from synergism between SnS2 nanoplates with high specific capacity and graphene, the graphene increases the conductivity of SnS2, buffers the volume change during lithiation/de-lithiation processes, and provides an effective physical barrier between the active materials and the electrolyte to suppress the shuttle effect of polysulfides formed during de-lithiation processes. LL-SnS2/G shows excellent electrochemical performance and is a promising anode material candidate for lithium ion batteries. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
