Abstract
In this study, a rod-like heterogeneous Bi2S3/Sb2S3 was systematically engineered through a simple one-step hydrothermal method and subsequently used as an anode active material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The Bi2S3/Sb2S3 heterostructure electrode exhibits a high initial discharge capacity of 972.2 mAh g−1 and maintains a reversible capacity of 369.4 mAh g−1 after 500 cycles at a current density of 1 A g−1. The outstanding electrochemical performance of the Bi2S3/Sb2S3 electrode can be attributed to the synergistic contributions of the high capacity of Sb2S3 and the excellent stability of Bi2S3. Simultaneously, the abundant heterogeneous phase boundaries formed by Bi2S3 and Sb2S3 provide stable reaction interfaces, better structural integrity, and enhanced Na+ reaction kinetics. This work presents an opportunity to develop heterogeneous Bi2S3/Sb2S3 anode materials with excellent properties, holding promise for potential applications in SIBs.
