Metal selenides have been explored as promising sodium storage materials owing to their high theoretical capacity. However, sluggish Na+ diffusion and low electronic conductivity of selenides still hinder their practical applications. Herein, FeSe2-xSx microspheres have been prepared via a self-doping solvothermal method using NH4Fe(SO4)2 as both the Fe and S source, followed by gas phase selenization. The density functional theory calculation results reveal that S doping not only improves the Na adsorption, but also lower the diffusion energy barrier of Na atoms at the S doping sites, at the same time enhance the electronic conductivity of FeSe2-xSx. The carbon-free nature of the FeSe2-xSx microspheres results in a low specific surface area and a high tap density, leading to an initial columbic efficiency of 85.6%. Compared with pure FeSe2, such FeSe2-xSx delivers a high reversible capacity of 373.6 mAh·g−1 at a high current density of 5 A·g−1 after 2000 cycles and an enhanced rate performance of 305.8 mAh·g−1 at even 50 A·g−1. Finally, the FeSe2-xSx//NVP pouch cells have been assembled, achieving high energy and volumetric energy densities of 118 Wh·kg−1 and 272 mWh·cm−3, respectively, confirming the potential of applications for the FeSe2-xSx microspheres.

高导电性掺硫 FeSe2-xSx 微球,具有高振实密度,可用于实际储钠
由于其高理论容量,金属硒化物已被探索为有前途的钠储存材料。然而,硒化物的Na +扩散缓慢和电子电导率低仍然阻碍了它们的实际应用。在此,FeSe 2- x S x微球已通过使用NH 4 Fe(SO 4 ) 2作为Fe源和S源,然后气相硒化的自掺杂溶剂热法制备。密度泛函理论计算结果表明,S掺杂不仅提高了Na的吸附,而且降低了Na原子在S掺杂位点的扩散能垒,同时增强了FeSe 2-的电子电导率x S x。FeSe 2- x S x微球的无碳特性导致低比表面积和高振实密度,导致初始库仑效率为 85.6%。与纯 FeSe 2相比,这种 FeSe 2- x S x在 5 A·g −1的高电流密度下循环 2000 次后可提供 373.6 mAh·g −1的高可逆容量和 305.8 mAh·的增强倍率性能g −1在甚至 50 A·g −1。最后,FeSe 2- x S x//NVP 软包电池已经组装完成,分别实现了 118 Wh·kg −1和 272 mWh·cm −3的高能量密度和体积能量密度,证实了 FeSe 2- x S x微球的应用潜力。
