초록

Owing to the speculated price hike and scarcity of lithium resources, sodium-ion batteries are attracting significant research interest these days. However, sodium-ion battery anodes do not deliver good electrochemical performance, particularly rate performance. Herein, we report the facile electrospinning synthesis of a free-standing nickel disulfide (NiS2) embedded on carbon nanofiber. This electrode did not require a conducting agent, current collector, and binder, and typically delivered high capacity and rate performance. The electrode delivered a high initial capacity of 603 mAh g(-1) at the current density of 500 mA g(-1). Moreover, the electrode delivered the capacity of 271 mAh g(-1) at the high current density of 15 A g(-1). The excellent rate performance and high coulombic efficiency of the electrode were attributed to its low charge transfer resistance and unique structure.
