Abstract

A new nanocomposite formulation of the FeS-based anode for lithium-ion batteries is proposed, where FeS nanoparticles wrapped in reduced graphene oxide (RGO) are produced via a facile direct-precipitation approach. The resulting nanocomposite FeS@RGO structure has better lithium ion storage properties, exceeding those of FeS prepared without RGO sheets. The enhanced electrochemical performance is attributed to the robust sheet-wrapped structure with smaller FeS nanoparticles and synergetic effects between FeS and RGO sheets, such as increased conductivity, shortened lithium ion diffusion path, and the effective prevention of polysulfide dissolution.
