Abstract

We report the possibility of using SnS₂ single crystals as promising anode for Li-ion battery applications with spinel LiMn₂O₄ cathode. Although, huge irreversible capacity loss is an issue for such alloy based anode, an electrochemical pre-lithiation process is conducted before conducting full-cell assembly. The full-cell is capable of working in the potential of ∼3.64 V. A meager capacity fade is noted for SnS₂ single crystals upon cycling irrespective of half-cell or full-cell configuration. First, the SnS₂ single crystals are synthesized by physical vapor transport and confirmed with X-ray diffraction and SAED measurements.
