摘要 | The exploration of materials with multifunctional properties, such as energy harvesting and storage, is crucial in integrated energy devices and technologies. Herein, through an organic-free "soft chemical" solution method, a series of dual-functional SnSe1-xSx (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5) nanoparticles have been developed toward high-performance electrochemical energy storage and thermoelectric conversion. Among the synthesized S-substituted SnSe, SnSe0.5S0.5 exhibits the highest rate capacity (546.1 mA h g(-1) at 2 A g(-1)) and the best reversible capacity (556.2 mA h g(-1) at 0.1 A g(-1) after 100 cycles), which are much enhanced compared to those of SnSe. Density functional theory calculation confirms that the composition regulation by S substitution can lower the diffusion barrier of Li+, boost the diffusion rate of Li+, and in turn enhance the electrochemical kinetics, thus increasing the Li+ storage performance. Meanwhile, partially replacing Se by S decreases the lattice thermal conductivity, leading to an improved peak zT of 0.64 at 773 K in SnSe0.9S0.1, which is enhanced compared to the value for SnSe obtained at the same temperature. This study develops a combined composition tuning-nanostructuring approach for optimizing the electrochemical and thermoelectric performance of dual-functional SnSe. |
