Abstract: | Herein, we demonstrate a facile one-step hydrothermal synthesis route to anchor ZnO nanoparticles on nitrogen and sulfur co-doped graphene sheets. The detailed material and electrochemical characterization have been carried out to demonstrate the potential of novel ZnO/NSG nanocomposite in Li-ion battery (LIBs) applications. The structure and morphology of nanocomposite were assessed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The as-synthesized ZnO/NSG nanocomposite has been studied as anode material in LIBs and delivered a high initial discharge capacity of 1723 mAh g?1, at the current density of 200 mA g?1. After 100 cycles, the ZnO/NSG nanocomposites demonstrated a high reversible capacity of 720 mAh g?1 and coulombic efficiency of 99.8%, which can be attributed to the porous three-dimensional network, constructed by ZnO nanoparticles and nitrogen and sulfur co-doped graphene. Moreover, the designed nanocomposite has shown excellent rate capability and lower charge transfer resistance. These results are promising and encourage further research in the area of ZnO-based anodes for next-generation LIBs. |
