Two-dimensional (2D) nano-structured tin monoxide (SnO) offers fascinating possibilities as anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). 2D architectures of SnO are highly desirable to access advanced lithium storage properties however their application is impeded by the lack of synthetic method. In this study, we report a scalable synthetic route to facilely deriving SnO/pristine-graphene (p-G) 2D-2D heterostructure from bulk SnO and graphite. A top-down synthetic method was found effective in transforming SnO micro-sized particles into nanosheets down to a few nanometers in thickness. Assembled with pristine graphene (p-G), the SnO nanosheets were used to build a SnO/p-G heterostructure that delivers remarkable Li-ion storage performances: reversible capacities of 633.9 mAh g(-1) after 100 cycles at 0.05 A g(-1), and excellent cycling stabilities (0.027% capacity fade per cycle at 1 A g(-1) after 700 cycles) were obtained. In comparison, raw SnO exhibited severe SEI over-growth and continuous capacity decay from the on-set at 0.05 A g(-1). The structural advantages of 2D-2D heterostructure were elucidated to understand its exceptional lithium storage properties. This study demonstrates a facile and scalable strategy for producing 2D-2D heterostructures from low-cost bulk materials for LIBs application. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
