摘要

Antimony nitride thin film has been successfully fabricated by magnetron sputtering method and its electrochemistry with lithium was investigated for the first time. The reversible discharge capacity of Sb(3)N/Li cells cycled between 0.3 V and 3.0 V was found above 600 mAh/g. By using transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction measurements, the conversion reaction of Sb(3)N into Li(3)Sb and Li(3)N was revealed during the lithium electrochemical reaction of Sb(3)N thin film electrode. The high reversible capacity and the good cycleability made Sb(3)N one of promising anode materials for future rechargeable lithium batteries.
