Abstract
A structured nanosized SnO2/MXene composites were achieved via a facile hydrothermal route, and applied as anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Uniformly dispersed SnO2 nanoparticles anchored on the MXene nanosheets provide rich active sites, while the conductive MXene serves as the substrate accelerating electrons and Na+ transport and retarding the volume expansion. Benefiting from the advantages, SnO2/MXene anode displays excellent Na-storage properties (414.3 mAh/g), outstanding rate capability and superior cycle stability. This study may pave a way to design the MXene-based composite materials for high-performance SIB anodes.
