Abstract
In this paper, SnO2/Ni2SnO4 heterojunctions were grown on NF by a simple secondary hydrothermal method. DFT-based calculations show that the SnO2/Ni2SnO4 heterojunction has excellent thermal stability with a low band gap (1.7 eV) and Li+ diffusion barrier (0.822 eV), which is attributed to the generation of an internal electric field that promotes carrier transport. Electrochemical tests showed that the initial capacity of SnO2/Ni2SnO4/NF was 1401 mAh g−1, and its capacity was 970 mAh g−1 after 200 charge/discharge cycles, which is attributed to metal-oxygen bonds at the interface and a special microsphere structure to improve the stability of the materials. In addition, the electrochemical behavior of SnO2/Ni2SnO4/NF is dominated by capacitive behavior, resulting in excellent rate performance. The synthesis of SnO2/Ni2SnO4/NF provides a reference for designing other heterojunctions anode materials.
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
