This manuscript investigates the impact of adding graphitic carbon nitride on the electrochemical properties of ZnS conversion alloying anode, revealing a cooperative phenomenon and high capacity in ZnS/g-C3N4 composite anodes. The enhanced rate capability of the 0.7ZnS:0.3g-C3N4 electrode is attributed to capacitive charge storage and mitigation of volume alteration effect during Li+/Na+ ions shuttling in ZnS. The presence of g-C3N4 leads to high reversible capacity and initial coulombic efficiency in the composite anodes, as confirmed by ex-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis.
In this manuscript, the effect of adding graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) on the electrochemical properties of ZnS conversion alloying anode has been investigated in detail. A cooperative phenomenon is observed in case of the ZnS/g-C3N4 composite anodes both in the lithium-ion and sodium-ion half-cell configuration. The ZnS nanoparticles render high capacity and gets lodged in the g-C3N4 nanosheets synthesized using acid assisted sonication method and leads to a synergistic effect which prevents restacking of layers and agglomeration of nanoparticles. The 0.7ZnS:0.3g-C3N4 composite delivers long term reversible capacity of similar to 596.9 mAh g(-1) after 1150 cycles and similar to 432.6 mAh g(-1) after 750 cycles in Li+/Na+ half-cell configuration, respectively, at a high current density of 1 A g(-1). The structural and electrochemical investigation of the bare ZnS and ZnS/g-C3N4 composite anodes along-with post-mortem SEM and TEM analysis has been discussed. The enhanced rate capability of the 0.7ZnS:0.3g-C3N4 electrode can be attributed to a fairly prominent role played by capacitive charge storage. The deleterious volume alteration effect during the shuttling of Li+/Na+ ions in ZnS is mitigated by the presence of g-C3N4 and it renders a high reversible capacity and initial coulombic efficiency to the composite anodes which has been studied via ex-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
