Synthesis of heterointerfaces in NiO/SnO2 coated nitrogen-doped graphene for efficient lithium storage

Abstract

Currently, it remains a challenge to make comprehensive improvements to overcome the disadvantages of volume expansion, Li2O irreversibility and low conductivity of SnO2. Heterostructure construction has been investigated as an effective strategy to promote electron transfer and surface reaction kinetics, leading to high electrochemical performance. Herein, NiO/SnO2 heterojunction modified nitrogen doped graphene (NiO/SnO2@NG) anode materials were prepared using hydrothermal and carbonization techniques. Based on the excellent structural advantages, sufficiently small NiO/SnO2 heterojunction nanoparticles increase the interfacial density to promote Li2O decomposition, and the built-in electric field accelerates the charge transport rate to improve the conductivity. The three-dimensional porous graphene framework effectively mitigates volume expansion during cycling and stabilizes the reactive interface of electrode materials. The results show that the NiO/SnO2@NG mixture has high reversible specific capacity (938.8 mA h g−1 after 450 cycles at 0.1 A g−1), superior multiplicity performance (374.5 mA h g−1 at 3.0 A g−1) and long cycle life (685.3 mA h g−1 after 1000 cycles at 0.5 A g−1). Thus, this design of introducing NiO to form heterostructures with SnO2 is directly related to enhancing the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
