Abstract

The integration of flexible carbon-based materials and high capacity anode materials is an effective route to obtain superior flexible electrode materials. In this work, nickel sulfide nanoparticles were electrodeposited on a CNT thin film to form a paper-like composite (NS@CNT). As a binder-free flexible Li-ion battery anode, a record specific capacity to date of ∼845 mA h g-1 at a current density of 60 mA g-1 in terms of the mass of the composite has been achieved. The high capacities were mainly attributed to reversible conversion reactions of nickel sulfide and the capacitance effect of the nanostructured composite.
