Ternary tin-based chalcogenide nanoplates as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries

A unique SnSe0.5S0.5 nanoplate is synthesized as an anode for lithium-ion batteries. Alao, it is the first that in-situ XRD analysis of SnSe0.5S0.5 demonstrates that the stable conversion to SnSe and SnS is favorable to the electrochemical reaction process. This nanoplate anode achieves a capacity of 681 mA h g−1 after 200 cycles at 0.5 A g−1.423
