Abstract:
Carbon-based materials are effective carriers of metal sulfides because of their good volume stability and chemical stability, which can reduce volume expansion of materials and can also inhibit the interfacial reaction. In this study, Co1-S incorporated into three-dimensional porous biomass carbon skeleton were synthesized by a template method. The three-dimensional porous carbon with large surface area is favorable for the electrolyte infiltration. The uniform distribution of Co1-S nanoparticles results in a high reversible electrochemical reaction. The well-designed Co1-S/three-dimensional porous carbon structure exhibits outstanding performance when used as an anode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The results show that the transition mental sulfide/three-dimensional porous carbon structure has broad application prospects in SIBs.

02:42Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
00:42Ionic Bonds
When atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration they form ions. Ionic bonds are electrostatic attractions between ions with opposite charges. Ionic compounds are rigid and brittle when solid and may dissociate into their constituent ions in water. Covalent compounds, by contrast, remain intact unless a chemical reaction breaks them.
