Description
Summary:Single crystalline Sb2S3 nanorods were fabricated through a soft chemical route without the assistance of any templates or surfactants. The as-prepared samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). TEM results indicate the Sb2S3 nanorods grow along with [001] direction and were composed of orthorhombic structure. The magnetic properties of Sb2S3 nanorods were studied. In addition, Sb2S3 nanorods were evaluated as electrode materials in lithium secondary batteries, and the first discharge capacity reached about 850 mA h g−1.
