ABSTRACT
2D tin diselenide and its derived 2D heterostructures have delivered promising potentials in various applications ranging from electronics to energy storage devices. The major challenges associated with large-scale fabrication of SnSe2 crystals, however, have hindered its engineering applications. Herein, a tin-extraction synthetic method is proposed for producing large-size SnSe2 bulk crystals. In a typical synthesis, a Sn-containing MAX phase (V2 SnC) and a Se source are heat-treated under a reducing atmosphere, by which Sn is extracted from the V2 SnC phase as a rectified Sn source to form SnSe2 crystals in the cold zone. After the following liquid exfoliation, the obtained 2D SnSe2 nanosheets have a lateral size of a few centimeters and an atomic thickness. Furthermore, by coupling with 2D graphene to form 2D/2D SnSe2 /graphene heterostructured electrodes, as validated by theoretical calculation and experimental studies, the superior Li-/Na-ion storage performance with ultralow surface/interface ion transport barriers are achieved for rechargeable Li-/Na-ion batteries. This innovative synthetic strategy opens a new avenue for the large-scale synthesis of selenides and offers more options into the practical application of emerging 2D/2D heterostructure for electrochemical energy storage.
