**3. Results and Discussion**

In this section, we present the microstructure and electrochemical performance of the SnS/C nanocomposites with two different SnS contents: 10SnS/C and 20SnS/C. Two C matrices were used, either artificial graphite (AG) or multicarbon–microbeats (MCMB). Both of these C matrices are considered promising for use in Li-ion batteries, and, thus, both were examined. A total of four samples were fabricated and tested: 10SnS/AG, 10SnS/MCMB, 20SnS/AG, and 20SnS/MCMB. First, the morphology of the new SnS/C nanocomposites is presented using FESEM and TEM, while the phases present are identified by employing selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and X-ray diffraction patterns. Then, long-term electrochemical cycling results are shown and the morphology is re-examined.
