Fabrication and Characterization of Flexible Tin Based Paper Electrode for Energy Storage Application

Abstract

SnS2nanoparticleshave been used in flexible and bendable devices with LC fibers in sodium ion batteries. Sodium storage anode materials now explored mainly Tin and its alloys e.g. (Sn, Na15Sn4). Tin is one of them which having high theoretical capacity (847mAhg-1 with Na15Sn4). These properties make it more effective likewise environment friendly, low cost and appropriate low charging and discharging potential versus sodium and sodium ion. Tin sulfides composites with LC fibers help to make it more reliable and flexible. Tin sulfides composites flexible properties make it more useful and affective. Lignocellulose composites give high performance due to its durability with uniform densities in adverse environments. LC fibers make composites degradable and work as bonding agent and also protect from ultraviolet light. Present study show the flexibility of SnS2 and incorporation of lignocellulose fibers for development of Tin-sulfides base paper electrode. Hydrothermal method is employed to fabricate the Tin-sulfides nanoparticles. We adopt hydrothermal method because its easy to handle low cost and environmental friendly. After making samples of Tin-sulfides in powder form and in composites form with LC send it for different characterization like XRD,SEM and CV which give very appropriates results as reported in literature. XRD results give us very reliable results. After that samples send foe SEM.The surface morphology and composition of samples was observed using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The essential elements are present in all sample confirmed by it.
