Abstract
show the suitability of the SnS monolayer for SIBs. In addition, the low activation barrier for Na migration (0.13 eV) is attractive for a fast sodiation/desodiation process. Henceforth, these encouraging outcomes suggest the application of the SnS sheet as an excellent anode for next-generation SIBs.
