Nanostructured SnO 2/ C composites used as anode materials were prepared by sol–gel synthesis to explore electrochemical properties in lithium-ion batteries. Surface characteristics of the SnO 2/ C nanocomposite were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that nanocrystalline SnO 2/ C with a grain size of 20–50 nm was uniformly dispersed on the carbon surface. After nanocrytalline SnO 2 coated onto carbon, the discharge capacity showed an increase up to 23%, i.e., from 300 to 370 mAh/g at a current density of 0.6 mA/cm2. The nanocomposite anode can achieve a fairly stable discharge capacity and excellent Coulombic efficiency (>99.5%) over 50 cycles. Cyclic voltammograms indicated that the improvements on capacity and cycleability were due to reversible alloying of nanosized Sn and Li on carbon surface.

Silicon is widely studied as a high-capacity lithium-ion battery anode. However, the pulverization of silicon caused by a large volume expansion during lithiation impedes it from being used as a next generation anode for lithium-ion batteries. To overcome this drawback, we synthesized ultrathin silicon nanowires. These nanowires are 1D silicon nanostructures fabricated by a new bi-metal-assisted chemical etching process. We compared the lithium-ion battery properties of silicon nanowires with different average diameters of 100[Formula: see text]nm, 30[Formula: see text]nm and 10[Formula: see text]nm and found that the 30[Formula: see text]nm ultrathin silicon nanowire anode has the most stable properties for use in lithium-ion batteries. The above anode demonstrates a discharge capacity of 1066.0[Formula: see text]mAh/g at a current density of 300[Formula: see text]mA/g when based on the mass of active materials; furthermore, the ultrathin silicon nanowire with average diameter of 30[Formula: see text]nm anode retains 87.5% of its capacity after the 50th cycle, which is the best among the three silicon nanowire anodes. The 30[Formula: see text]nm ultrathin silicon nanowire anode has a more proper average diameter and more efficient content of SiOx. The above prevents the 30[Formula: see text]nm ultrathin silicon nanowires from pulverization and broken during cycling, and helps the 30[Formula: see text]nm ultrathin silicon nanowires anode to have a stable SEI layer, which contributes to its high stability.
