Abstract
SnO2 nano-cuboids were synthesized by a simple precipitate of SnCl2 in oxalic acid and followed by temperature—controlled decomposition of Sn2C2O4 annealing in air. SEM, TEM and X-ray diffraction showed that the products are uniformly nano-cuboids with the size around 40 nm in width, 100 nm in length and 10 nm in height in rutile phase. The electrochemical performances of the nano-cuboids were tested by galvanostatically discharge/charge, cyclic voltammetry. The initial discharge and charge capacities reached 2410 and 1468 mA h g−1 and maintained 915 and 859 mA h g−1 after 30 cycles at 0.1 C. The discharge capacity still kept at 418 mA h g−1 after 30 cycles at 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2 and 0.2 C. The perfect reversibility and cycling stability of the cell was contributed to the smaller nanosize of cuboid SnO2. Moreover, the mechanism of SnO2 anodes undergoing the conversion of Sn to SnO and then SnO2 along with alloying of Li x Sn enabled higher capacity was verified by XRD and CV measurements.
