Large-scale synthesis of ultrathin hexagonal tin disulfide nanosheets with highly reversible lithium storageElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: The XRD pattern, high magnified TEM image, first cycle performance (Fig. S1 to S3). See DOI: 10.1039/c0cc03023f

Ultrathin hexagonal SnS2nanosheets are synthesized viaa simple hydrothermal reaction. The nanosheets have been applied as an anode for lithium-ion battery, which shows highly reversible capacity and good cycling stability with excellent capacity retention of 96% after 50 cycles.
