Abstract:
Transition metal sulfides are emerging as promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their high theoretical capacity and low cost, their practical application yet face critical issues of sluggish kinetics and poor cycling stability. In this study, a reliable approach is introduced to overcome these challenges by fabrication of Se0.75-Fe1-xS0.25@SC hollow nanospheres thanks to the enriched robust Fe─S─C, C─S, and C─Se bonding, which greatly benefit for enhancing both reaction kinetics and structural stability. Kinetic study combining with in situ characterization reveals that the incorporation of rich-Se into FeSx induces the formation of cationic Fe and Se vacancies, leading to abundant sites and optimized path for sodium storage. Density functional theory calculations also demonstrate how Se-rich engineering weakens carbonaceous polar C─S─Fe bonds and accelerates reaction dynamics. The as-prepared Se0.75-Fe1-xS0.25@SC can deliver a high reversible capacity of 515 mAh g−1 at 2 A g−1 over 1250 cycles and achieve superior rate capability with maintaining capacity of 418 mAh g−1 at 10 A g−1. This work pioneers the concept of vacancy-rich functionalized nanostructures, offering a new pathway for designing advanced electrode materials for energy storage devices. © 2024 Wiley-VCH GmbH.
