Abstract
cathode exhibited high capacity and good cycling stability. Such a superior electrochemical performance of SnS QDs@NC can be attributed to the synergistic effects of NC and SnS QDs where NC serves as a conducting matrix to support SnS QDs and helps avoid structural degradation. This work provides a promising strategy to resolve the pulverization issue of alloying and conversion-type anode materials.
