MXenes, a new family of two-dimensional (2D) materials with excellent electronic conductivity and hydrophilicity, have shown distinctive advantages as a highly conductive matrix material for lithium-ion battery anodes. Herein, a facile electrostatic self-assembly of SnO quantum dots (QDs) on TiCT MXene sheets is proposed. The as-prepared SnO/MXene hybrids have a unique 0D-2D structure, in which the 0D SnO QDs (~ 4.7 nm) are uniformly distributed over 2D TiCT MXene sheets with controllable loading amount. The SnO QDs serve as a high capacity provider and the "spacer" to prevent the MXene sheets from restacking; the highly conductive TiCT MXene can not only provide efficient pathways for fast transport of electrons and Li ions, but also buffer the volume change of SnO during lithiation/delithiation by confining SnO QDs between the MXene nanosheets. Therefore, the 0D-2D SnO QDs/MXene hybrids deliver superior lithium storage properties with high capacity (887.4 mAh g at 50 mA g), stable cycle performance (659.8 mAh g at 100 mA g after 100 cycles with a capacity retention of 91%) and excellent rate performance (364 mAh g at 3 A g), making it a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries.
MXenes是一类新型二维材料,具有优异的电子导电性和亲水性,作为锂离子电池负极的高导电基体材料已展现出独特优势。在此,我们提出一种在TiCT MXene片材上简便的静电自组装SnO量子点(QDs)的方法。所制备的SnO/MXene杂化物具有独特的0D-2D结构,其中0D的SnO量子点(约4.7纳米)以可控的负载量均匀分布在二维TiCT MXene片材上。SnO量子点作为高容量提供者和“间隔物”,可防止MXene片材重新堆叠;高导电的TiCT MXene不仅能为电子和锂离子的快速传输提供有效途径,还能通过将SnO量子点限制在MXene纳米片之间来缓冲SnO在锂化/脱锂过程中的体积变化。因此,0D-2D SnO量子点/MXene杂化物具有优异的锂存储性能,包括高容量(在50 mA g时为887.4 mAh g)、稳定的循环性能(在100 mA g下循环100次后为659.8 mAh g,容量保持率为91%)和出色的倍率性能(在3 A g时为364 mAh g),使其成为一种有前景的锂离子电池负极材料。
