Electrochemical properties of ultrafine Sb nanocrystals embedded in carbon microspheres for use as Na-ion battery anode materials

Abstract

Ultrafine Sb nanocrystals, uniformly distributed in a carbon matrix with a microspherical morphology, were synthesized by one-pot spray pyrolysis. The Sb–carbon composite microspheres exhibited good Na-storage properties with stable cyclability, a capacity retention of 90% over 100 cycles, and good rate performance.
