Carbon-coated mesoporous SnO2 nanospheres as anode material for lithium ion batteries
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper mesoporous SnO2 nanospheres with an average diameter of about 83 nm, composed of many tiny primary particles ( 10 nm) and holes, are synthesized on a large scale by a simple hydrothermal route. The as-prepared mesoporous SnO2 nanospheres were uniformly coated with carbon by a further hydrothermal treatment in glucose aqueous solution. As anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, the core–shell SnO2/C nanocomposites exhibit a markedly improved cycling performance. 2012 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

متن کاملA high performance carrier for SnO2 nanoparticles used in lithium ion battery.
Ferrocene-encapsulated single-walled carbon nanotubes (Fc@SWNTs) are developed as carriers for attaching SnO(2). When Fc@SWNTs coated with SnO(2) nanoparticles were used as anode material in lithium ion batteries, the reversible capacity remained over 900 mA h g(-1) after 40 cycles, much higher than other carbon nanomaterials.
متن کاملOxalate-assisted formation of uniform carbon-confined SnO2 nanotubes with enhanced lithium storage.
SnO2 nanotubes are synthesized via an oxalate-assisted "redox etching and precipitating" route between MnOOH nanowires and Sn2+ ions. The addition of oxalate is found to be crucial to guide the formation of uniform SnO2 nanotubes. To further improve the conductivity and stability, the as-obtained SnO2 nanotubes are coated with a thin carbon layer. The resulting carbon-confined SnO2 nanotubes po...
