PREPARATION METHOD FOR ULTRATHIN SB2S3 NANOSHEET AS ANODE MATERIAL FOR Li/Na ION BATTERY APPLICATIONS

Methods of synthesizing few-layer two-dimensional (2D) SbSnanosheets using scalable chemical exfoliation are provided. The 2D SbSnanosheets can be developed as bi-functional anode materials in both lithium ion batteries and sodium ion batteries. The unique structural and functional features brought by 2D SbSnanosheets can offer short electron/ion diffusion paths and abundant active sites for surface redox reactions.
