Hierarchical Sb₂S₃ hollow microspheres assembled by nanowires have been successfully synthesized by a simple and practical hydrothermal reaction. The possible formation process of this architecture was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), focused-ion beam-scanning electron microscopy dual-beam system (FIB-SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). When used as the anode material for lithium-ion batteries, Sb₂S₃ hollow microspheres manifest excellent rate property and enhanced lithium-storage capability, and can deliver a discharge capacity of 674 mAh g^-1 at a current density of 200 mA g^-1 after 50 cycles. Even at a high current density of 5000 mA g^-1, a discharge capacity of 541 mAh g^-1 is achieved. Sb₂S₃ hollow microspheres also display a prominent sodium-storage capacity, and maintain a reversible discharge capacity of 384 mAh g^-1 at a current density of 200 mA g^-1 after 50 cycles. The remarkable lithium/sodium-storage property may be attributed to the synergetic effect of its nanometer size and three-dimensional hierarchical architecture, and the outstanding stability property is attributed to the sufficient interior void space, which can buffer the volume expansion.

通过简单实用的水热反应，成功地合成了由纳米线组装而成的Sb ₂ S ₃空心空心微球。通过X射线衍射（XRD），聚焦离子束扫描电子显微镜双光束系统（FIB-SEM）和透射电子显微镜（TEM）研究了该体系结构的可能形成过程。当用作锂离子电池的负极材料时，Sb ₂ S ₃中空微球表现出优异的倍率性能和增强的锂储存能力，并且在200 mA g-的电流密度下可以提供674 mAh g ^-1的放电容量^- 50个循环后为¹。即使在5000 mA g ^-1的高电流密度下，实现了541 mAh g ^-1的放电容量。Sb ₂ S ₃中空微球还显示出显着的钠存储容量，并在50次循环后在200 mA g ^-1的电流密度下保持384 mAh g ^-1的可逆放电容量。出色的锂/钠存储性能可能归因于其纳米尺寸和三维层次结构的协同效应，而出色的稳定性归因于足够的内部空隙空间，可以缓冲体积膨胀。
