  • Electrochemical testing, including cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge, and rate capability tests.

Main Results:

  • The hierarchical Bi2O3-Bi2S3 nanostructure exhibits high surface area and porosity.
  • The heterostructure demonstrated a high Coulombic efficiency of 83.7%.
  • Stable capacity delivery of 433 mAh g(-1) after 100 cycles at 600 mA g(-1) and remarkable rate capability (295 mAh g(-1) at 6 A g(-1)) were achieved.

Conclusions:

  • The Bi2O3-Bi2S3 heterostructure significantly enhances lithium storage performance compared to bare Bi2O3.
  • Constructing heterostructures is a viable strategy for developing high-performance battery electrode materials.
  • This work paves the way for advanced bismuth-based materials in rechargeable batteries.
