Sodiation-induced reactivation of micro-nano flower for long cycling life sodium-ion batteries — •Yuhua Chen, Yulian Dong, Huaping Zhao, and Yong Lei — Fachgebiet Angewandte Nanophysik, Institut für Physik & IMN MacroNano, Technische Universität Ilmenau, 98693 Ilmenau, Germany

A rational micro-nano hierarchical structure is demonstrated to prolong the cycle life of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) by relieving the volume expansion and preventing active material agglomeration. In this work, micro-nano flower 3D-VSx was fabricated as an anode electrode for SIBs. The advanced features of micro-nano flower and the unique crystal structures of NiAs-type vanadium sulfides synergistically contribute to enhancing the electrochemical kinetics of 3D-VSx, and finally achieved remarking electrochemical performances with an ultra-high capacity (961.4 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1) and an ultra-long cyclability (more than 1500 cycles). Furthermore, ex situ X-ray diffraction and SEM bring to light a gradual reactivation process of 3D-VSx for sodium storage. Fortunately, upon reactivation, the electrochemical impedance of the 3D-VSx anode gradually weakens, and the diffusion-controlled charge storage mode further dominates compared to the capacitively-controlled mode, all of which facilitate the 3D-VSx to maintain a stable sodium storage capability. This work presents a general approach for preparing super-high specific capacity and rate capacity electrode materials for further improving the SIBs performance.
