In　this　contribution,　a　new　three-dimensional　(3D)　structure　of　SnS2　with　sulfur　vacancies　(S-SnS2)anchored　on　the　surface　of　reduced　graphene　oxide　(rGO)　was　synthesized　via　a　facile　solvothermal　method.　It　was　found　that　the　addition　of　glycolic　acid　promoted　the　bonding　of　SnS2　with　rGO,　and　enabling　SnS2　to　generate　sulfur　vacancies.　As　a　result,　the　obtained　unique　3D　structure　facilitated　the　rapid　diffusion　of　lithium-ion　and　the　S/N-doped　rGO　(NSG)　enhanced　the　electronic　conductivity　of　the　S-SnS2/NSG.　In　detail,　the　S-SnS2/NSG　as　an　anode　in　lithium-ion　battery　displayed　a　significant　capacity　of　1030.2　mA　h　g−1　at　0.5　A　g−1　after　200　cycles.　Even　at　a　large　current　density　of　5　A　g−1,　the　S-SnS2/NSG　retained　an　unsurpassed　capacity　of　790　mA　h　g−1　after　1000　cycles,　demonstrating　an　ultrastable　long　cycling　performance.　©　2023　Elsevier　B.V.
