Abstract
Enteromorpha prolifera (EP), a notorious marine biomass from offshore green tide, is employed as precursor together with chemical exfoliated graphene oxide (GO) to synthesize a carbon dispersed tin dioxide (SnO2) nanocomposite. By rationally modulating the interactions between EP, GO and Sn2+ in mild water phase, GO is deoxygenated to reduced graphene oxide (RGO) coating layers on EP while Sn2+ ions are converted to SnO2 nanoparticles accommodated by RGO/EP. In the following heat treatment, the intermediate Sn@RGO/EP is converted to the final SnO2/RGO/EPC nanocomposite, during which the SnO2 nanocrystals are effectively dispersed by the in-situ formed RGO/EPC carbon framework. As a consequence, the finally engineered SnO2/RGO/EPC nanocomposite exhibits unique hierarchical microstructure, which enables this sample deliver a stable capacity of about 815.2 mAh·g−1 over 1000 cycles at a high-density current of 1000 mA·g−1 in half cells as well as inspiring full cell performances. The lithium-ion storage behaviors of SnO2/RGO/EPC have been uncovered. This work demonstrates a feasible choice to fabricate nanocomposite electrode materials from marine biomass.
期刊介绍:
Sustainable Materials and Technologies (SM&T), an international, cross-disciplinary, fully open access journal published by Elsevier, focuses on original full-length research articles and reviews. It covers applied or fundamental science of nano-, micro-, meso-, and macro-scale aspects of materials and technologies for sustainable development. SM&T gives special attention to contributions that bridge the knowledge gap between materials and system designs.
