Summary: In this study, graphene oxide is utilized as a platform for the synthesis of Ni(OH)(OCH3) and subsequent conversion to NiS2 on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets. The resulting NiS2@rGO composite exhibits a 2D porous structure, providing abundant active sites for charge storage and facilitating ion/electron transport. Additionally, rGO nanosheets suppress the shuttle effect of polysulfides and enhance electrical conductivity. The NiS2@rGO electrode demonstrates exceptional rate capability and a long lifespan in an ether-based electrolyte. However, its performance is poor in an ester-based electrolyte. The unique hierarchical structure of the NiS2@rGO composite makes it a promising candidate for anode materials in sodium-ion batteries. The work also suggests a novel M(OH)(OCH3)@rGO intermediate for the synthesis of transition-metal oxides/sulfides@rGO composites for energy storage and catalysis applications.
