Summary:The good crystalline Sb 2 Se 3 nanorods have been successfully synthesized through a simple polyol process. The detailed morphological and structural characterizations reveal that nanorods are composed of Sb 2 Se 3 single crystals oriented along the [120] orientation; the tiny Sb 2 Se 3 nanorods are found to display a higher crystallinity with respect to thick Sb 2 Se 3 nanorods. The nanorods have been applied as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, with tiny Sb 2 Se 3 nanorod anodes delivering the relatively high discharge capacity of 702 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C and could maintain the capacity of 230 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles. A more stable cycling performance is also demonstrated on tiny Sb 2 Se 3 nanorods, which is ascribed to their more pronounced one-dimensional nanostructure.
