Carbon-Coated SnO2 Nanorod Array for Lithium-Ion Battery Anode Material
نویسندگان
چکیده
Carbon-coated SnO(2) nanorod array directly grown on the substrate has been prepared by a two-step hydrothermal method for anode material of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The structural, morphological and electrochemical properties were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electrochemical measurement. When used as anodes for LIBs with high current density, as-obtained array reveals excellent cycling stability and rate capability. This straightforward approach can be extended to the synthesis of other carbon-coated metal oxides for application of LIBs.

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...
