Abstract:
ZnS/carbon nanocomposites have potential electrochemical applications due to their improved conductivity and more active sites through modification of the carbon materials. Herein, we report a facile method to synthesize the nanocomposites comprising ZnS nanoparticles and nitrogen-doped carbon (ZnS@NC). The inorganic–organic hybrid ZnS-amine material ZnS(ba) (ba = n -butylamine) is synthesized on a large scale by a reflux method, which effectively shortens the reaction time while maintaining the high yield compared with the solvothermal method. Then ZnS(ba) is used as precursor for obtaining ZnS@NC nanocomposites via a vacuum pyrolysis route, in which the content of carbon and nitrogen can be controlled by adjusting the pyrolysis temperature. Further, a series of ZnS-amine hybrid materials ZnS(ha), ZnS(en) 0.5 and ZnS(pda) 0.5 (ha = n -hexylamine; en = ethylenediamine; pda = 1,3-propanediamine) are synthesized and used as precursors for the preparation of ZnS@NC materials, indicating the universality of this method. Moreover, the as-synthesized ZnS@NC materials exhibit remarkable lithium storage performance with outstanding cycling stability, high-rate capability and remarkable pseudo-capacitance characteristics.
