Abstract
In this paper, a SnO2@C composite anode was prepared by coating SnO2 with asphalt by hydrothermal process and carbonization. The core–shell structure of SnO2 nanoparticles was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectrometry, x-ray diffraction and thermal gravimetric analysis. The electrochemical performance tests showed the SnO2@C anode exhibited excellent cycle performance and high specific capacity. The core–shell structure can accommodate the huge volume expansion of SnO2 nanoparticles during charge/discharge. The conductivity of the electrode was also obviously enhanced. The first-charge capacity and coulombic efficiency reached 1798 mAh/g and 65%, respectively. After 80 cycles, the capacity still remained at 446 mAh/g at a current density of 100 mA/g.
