Ultrafine Ni₀.₈₅Se nanoparticles encapsulated inside hollow porous carbon spheres and their excellent Na storage performance
As a novel anode material for sodium-ion batteries, ultrafine Ni0.85Se nanoparticles encapsulated inside hollow porous carbon spheres (HPCS@Ni0.85Se) are prepared by impregnating Ni(NO3)2 into HPCSs, calcination and selenization, which is based on the strong capillary effect of HPCSs. Material chara...

HPCSs as unique reactors and Ni0.85Se carriers improve electronic conductivity of Ni0.85Se, facilitate electrolyte penetration and storage, buffer volume variation of Ni0.85Se, effectively confine Ni0.85Se during long-term cycles. Consequently, HPCS@Ni0.85Se exhibits excellent cycling durability and extraordinary rate capability.
