Abstract

Abstract : SnS nanoparticles embedded in N-doped carbon are prepared by using Sn(salen) and exhibited outstanding electrochemical performance for lithium-ion batteries. Abstract : By simple pyrolysis of a tin salen complex [Sn(salen)] and sulfur powder at 700 °C, SnS nanoparticles with ∼20 nm thickness homogeneously embedded in nitrogen-doped carbon are prepared. When applied as lithium-ion battery anodes, the SnS/N–C nanocomposites exhibited long cycling stability and excellent rate capability.
