Abstract: Zinc sulfide has become an ideal anode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity and excellent redox reversibility, but its volume expansion and polysulfide shuttling effect have severely restricted its application. Carbon capping strategy is commonly used to inhibit the volume expansion, but the traditional method has bottlenecks such as complicated preparation process (difficult to scale up) and environmental pollution due to the introduction of a large number of sulfur/nitrogen sources. Zinc metal-organic frameworks (Zn-MOFs) precursors containing sulfur elements were synthesized by a simple and inexpensive method, and nitrogen-doped carbon-coated zinc sulphone (ZSNC) was prepared by one-step calcination. The prepared ZSNC has tunable morphology, effective inhibition of active particle agglomeration, exposure of more reactive interfaces, lower specific surface area, smaller charge transfer resistance and higher sodium diffusion coefficient. The ZSNC exhibited high reversible capacity (554.28 mAh/g at 100 mA/g) as well as excellent multiplicative performance (296.22 mAh/g at 1000 mA/g) in sodium-ion batteries, and excellent cycling stability with 81.24% capacity retention at 100 mA/g after 100 cycles. The structural integrity, high specific capacity, good multiplicity performance and cycling stability of ZSNC prepared by this method make it an effective improvement for the preparation of metal sulfides as battery anodes.
