As potential alternatives to lithium-ion batteries in grid energy storage application, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted tremendous attention. Absence of high-performance anode material remains a challenge to commercialize SIBs. Herein, a SnSbSx/porous carbon nanofiber (SnSbSx/PCNF) composite with superior performance is successfully prepared via electrospinning, followed by a sulfuration treatment. The as-prepared SnSbSx/PCNF composite exhibits a unique two-dimensional nano-sheet morphology. As a result, the SnSbSx/PCNFs can deliver a high reversible capacity of 566.7Â mAh gâ1 after 80 cycles and achieve good cycling stability and rate capability when used as anode materials for SIBs. The improved electrochemical performance of SnSbSx/PCNFs can be ascribed to the synergistic effects of SnSbSx nano-sheets and enhanced diffusion coefficient of Na+ in sulfurated PCNFs (SPCNFs), which can not only provide good electronic conductivity but also buffer the volume change of the SnSbSx nano-sheets during sodiation/desodiation process. Additionally, the sulfuration process generates a sulfur doping effect on the PCNFs, further enhancing their sodium storage ability. Therefore, the excellent Na-storage ability demonstrates SnSbSx/PCNFs a great potential as anode material for high-performance SIBs.
