Graphene nanoscroll/nanosheet aerogels with confined SnS 2 nanosheets : simultaneous wrapping and bridging for high-performance lithium-ion battery anodes by Zhang, Youfang, Zhao, Chenyang, Zeng, Zhihui, Ang, Jia Ming, Che, Boyang, Wang, Zhe, Lu, Xuehong

“…The nanoscroll/nanosheet hybrid aerogels (GNAs) with confined SnS2 nanosheets are facilely prepared via fast quenching, freeze-drying and thermal annealing. During quenching, wrapping SnS2 nanosheets in the nanoscrolls and bridging the one-dimensional nanoscrolls by the two-dimensional nanosheets occur simultaneously, and the ratio of nanoscrolls/nanosheets can be controlled by simply adjusting quenching conditions. …”
