Abstract:
The present traditional energy sources are insufficient to maintain our modern way of living. To
overcome the present energy demand, there is a need of efficient and flexible energy storage
system to replace the current the nonrenewable energy sources. between various energy storage
gadget Zinc ion batteries have drawn attention to several researchers due to their characteristics
such, much higher potential i.e. -0.761 V as compared to standard hydrogen electrode than several
other batteries like Na, K, Al and Li and Zinc can directly be used as anode material as it is stable
in aqueous electrolyte. Different materials are used as electrode materials in Zn-ion batteries but
Metal sulfide based materials are under fascination of researchers due to ease in synthesis,
incredible electrochemical performance and longer cyclic life. Among metal sulfide Zn and Sn
composites are utilized as an electrode in electrochemical Supercapacitor, lithium ion batteries,
sodium-ion batteries, bio sensors, and Photo catalysis applications. Literature survey revealed
numerous fabrication techniques for fabrication of ZnSnS2 e.g. co-precipitation, hydrothermal
method and microwave method. Microwave method is less expensive, easy to do and less time
consuming. Presented synopsis is an attempt to fabricate the Zinc and Tin based composites to
utilize the larger potential window for better energy storage characteristics. Furthermore,
fabricated composites will be employed as anodic electrodes for Zinc-ion batteries. The
morphological and structural properties of the sample was investigated by different
characterization techniques such Raman spectroscopy Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Transmission electron microscopy, while the
electrochemical properties were studied by galvanostatic charge/discharge, Cyclic voltammetry,
and Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The crystalline structure of the nanocomposites was
confirmed by the specified region electron diffraction pattern, which was carried out by high
transmission electron microscope (TEM)
