Synthesis of Corrugated SnO2 by Cotton Fibers Template Method and Its Electrochemistry Performance

doi:10.15541/jim20140095

Abstract

Abstract:

Corrugated SnO₂ was prepared by an effective template using cotton fibers which were sacrificed during preparation. The as-prepared SnO₂ samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, CV, galvanostatical method and EIS. The results show that the corrugated SnO₂ is composed of nanopaticles with size of 16-21 nm. The as-obtained corrugated SnO₂ electrodes can deliver a discharge capacity of 614 mAh/g at current density of 70 mA/g after 50 cycles. Even at the current density of 3 A/g the products can still deliver a high reversible discharge capacity of 405 mAh/g. As lithium storage materials, the corrugated SnO₂ shows stable cyclability and good rate capability.

Key words: tin oxides, cotton fibers, template method, corrugated structure, lithium-ion batteries
