Abstract

A novel spherical tremella-like Sb2O3 was prepared by using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) method under a mild liquid-phase reaction condition, and was further employed as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The effect of reaction temperature and time on morphologies of Sb2O3 was studied. The results from SEM and TEM demonstrate that the tremella-like Sb2O3 architecture are composed of numerous nanosheets with high specific surface area. When the tremella-like Sb2O3 was used as LIBs anode, the discharge and charge capacities can achieve 724 and 446 mA.h/g in the first cycle, respectively. Moreover, the electrode retains an impressive high capacity of 275 mA-h/g even after 50 cycles at 20 mA/g, indicating that the material is extremely promising for application in LIBs.

摘要

在液相反应条件下通过MOFs 制备了一种新颖的球形银耳状的Sb2O3 材料,并将其用作锂离子 电池(LIBs)的负极材料。探究了反应温度和时间对Sb2O3 形貌的影响,通过SEM 和TEM 的结果表明, 银耳状Sb2O3 结构是由许多具有高比表面积的纳米片组成。当银耳状Sb2O3 用作LIBs 负极时,首次放 电和充电容量分别达到724 和446 mA∙h/g。 在20 mA/g 的电流密度下循环50 圈后,电极仍保持275 mA∙h/g 的高容量,因此该材料极有希望应用于LIBs。
