Why is antimony a good anode material for lithium ion batteries?

1. Introduction Antimony (Sb) has become an attractive choice as anode material for high performance Li-ion batteries (LIBs) and Na-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its low price, high theoretical capacity (660 mA h g −1 ), moderate working voltage (0.8–0.9 V) and unique low puckered-layer structure .

Are lithium-ion battery anodes a good electroactive material?

During the course of experiments with Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 /Sb composite anodes, we have found a new class of electroactive materials namely, the family of lithium antimonites (LiSbO 3 and LiSb 3 O 8) which show encouraging results as lithium-ion battery anode with respect to a low intercalation potential and high discharge capacity.

Does antimony have a high reactivity with lithium ions?

Antimony (Sb) shows high conductivity and reactivity not only with lithium ions, but also with sodium ions due to its unique puckered layer structure; also, it can deliver a high theoretical capacity of 660 mA h g−1 by forming Li3Sb or Na3Sb.

Are Sb-based materials suitable for lithium ion and sodium-ion batteries?

In this study, the recent progress of Sb-based materials including elemental Sb nano-structures, intermetallic Sb alloys and Sb chalcogenides for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries are introduced in detail along with their electrode mechanisms, synthesis, design strategies and electrochemical performance.

How is lithium nitrate mixed with antimony sulfide?

An aqueous solution of stoichiometric amounts of lithium nitrate (LiNO 3) and L-alanine (Merck, 99.0%) was mixed with hydrochloride solution of antimony sulfide (Sb 2 S 5 ). The mixture was heated at a temperature of ∼150 °C on a hot plate with constant stirring by a magnetic needle.

Why is antimony a high reactivity ion?

We apologise for any inconvenience this might cause and thank you for your patience. Antimony (Sb) shows high conductivity and reactivity not only with lithium ions, but also with sodium ions due to its unique puckered layer structure; also, it can deliver a high theoretical capacity of 660 mA h g −1 by forming Li 3 Sb or Na 3 Sb.
