3D tin anodes prepared by electrodeposition on a virus scaffold
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patterned coreeshell tin (Sn) nanorod anode is fabricated by pulse electrodeposition of Sn onto a selfassembled Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) structured nickel current collector. Pulse electrodeposition onto the virus assembled 3D electrode surfaces produces homogenous Sn coatings with significant void space to accommodate the large volume change associated with Sn lithiation. The TMV enabled 3D Sn anodes shows high capacity retention of 560 mAh g 1 after 100 cycles with the average capacity fading rate of 0.4% per cycle. The high electronic conductivity of Sn, short diffusion length for Li-ions, and large interface between Sn nano-rods and electrolyte greatly enhance the rate performance of the TMV

متن کاملImproved electrochemical performance of tin-sulfide anodes for sodium-ion batteries
Due to their highly reversible capacity, tin-sulfide-basedmaterials have gained attention as potential anodes for sodium-ion and lithium-ion batteries. Nevertheless, the performance of tin sulfide anodes is much lower than that of tin oxide anodes. The aim of the present investigation is to improve the electrochemical performances of SnS anodes for sodium-ion batteries using conventional organi...
