摘要

Novel NiCo2S4 nanorod arrays are uniformly grown on carbon nanofibers (NiCo2S4@CNF) through a facile hydrothermal approach. The elaborate designed composite structure ensures that the NiCo2S4 nanorods arrays are uniformly dispersed on the surfaces of carbon nanofibers (CNF) and tightly bonded with each other. Conductive networks of CNF facilitate the electron transport at the interfaces to readily react with NiCo2S4, thereby enhancing sodium storage. In view of this, NiCo2S4@CNF exhibits a high reversible capacity (683.6 mAh g−1 at 0.1 A g−1) and excellent long-term cycling stability (with only a 0.07% capacity loss per cycle after 400 cycles). This work provides a simple and efficient strategy for synthesizing high-performance sodium-ion battery electrodes.
