Abstract:

FeS‐based composites are sustainable conversion electrode materials for lithium‐ion batteries, combining features like low cost, environmental friendliness, and high capacities. However, they suffer from fast capacity decay and low electron conductivity. Herein, novel insights into a surprising phenomenon of this material are provided. A FeS/Fe3C/C nanocomposite synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method is compared with pure FeS. When applied as anode materials for lithium‐ion batteries, these two types of materials show different capacity evolution upon cycling. Surprisingly, the composite delivers a continuous increase in capacity instead of the expected capacity fading. This unique behavior is triggered by a catalyzing effect of Fe3C nanoparticles. The Fe3C phase is a beneficial byproduct of the synthesis and was not intentionally obtained. To further understand the effect of interconnected carbon balls on FeS‐based electrodes, complementary analytic techniques are used. Ex situ X‐ray radiation diffraction and ex situ scanning electron microscopy are employed to track phase fraction and morphology structure. In addition, the electrochemical kinetics and resistance are evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. ... mehr
