چکیده
Carbon-coated, carbon nanotube (CNT)/tin(oxide) spongy coaxial nanostructures, CNT/Sn(O(2))@C, with large areal mass loadings have been developed by employing a three-dimensional CNT sponge as a backbone. The freestanding spongy coaxial nano-architecture demonstrates exceptional electrochemical characteristics of tin-based anode materials with appropriate structural engineering for energy storage application.

Interfacial Mechanics of Carbon
Heterogeneous nanostructures may offer better or new properties that are not originally present in constituting components by judiciously combining two or more different materials. For example, silicon coating on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) improves the thermal stability of carbon nanotubes by acting as a protective fi lm, [ 1 ] and silicon-coated CNT composites have been proposed as promising lith...
متن کاملA universal synthetic route to carbon nanotube/transition metal oxide nano-composites for lithium ion batteries and electrochemical capacitors
We report a simple synthetic approach to coaxially grow transition metal oxide (TMO) nanostructures on carbon nanotubes (CNT) with ready control of phase and morphology. A thin (~4 nm) sulfonated-polystyrene (SPS) pre-coating is essential for the deposition of transition metal based materials. This layer has abundant sulfonic groups (-SO3-) that can effectively attract Ni2+, Co2+, Zn2+ ions thr...
