MXenes,a new family of two-dimensional (2D) materials with excellent electronic conductivity and hydrophilicity,have shown distinctive advantages as a highly conductive matrix material for lithium-ion battery anodes.Herein,a facile electrostatic self-assembly of SnO2 quantum dots (QDs) on Ti3C2Tx MXene sheets is proposed.The as-prepared SnO2/MXene hybrids have a unique 0D-2D structure,in which the 0D SnO2 QDs (～4.7 nm) are uniformly distributed over 2D Ti3C2Tx MXene sheets with controllable loading amount.The SnO2 QDs serve as a high capacity provider and the spacer to prevent the MXene sheets from restacking;the highly conductive Ti3C2Tx MXene can not only provide efficient pathways for fast transport of electrons and Li ions,but also buffer the volume change of SnO2 during lithiation/delithiation by confining SnO2 QDs between the MXene nanosheets.Therefore,the 0D-2D SnO2 QDs/MXene hybrids deliver superior lithium storage properties with high capacity (887.4 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1),stable cycle performance (659.8 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 100 cycles with a capacity retention of 91％) and excellent rate performance (364 mAh g-1 at 3 A g-1),making it a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries.
