摘要
We report a simple method of preparing a high performance, Sn-based anode material for lithium ion batteries （LIBs）. Adding H2O2 to an aqueous solution containing Sn2＋ and aniline results in simultaneous polymerization of aniline and oxidation of Sn2＋ to SnO2, leading to a homogeneous composite of polyaniline and SnO2. Hydrogen thermal reduction of the above composite yields N-doped carbon with hierarchical porosity and homogeneously distributed, ultrafine Sn particles. The nanocomposite exhibits excellent performance as an anode material for lithium ion batteries, showing a high reversible specific capacity of 788 mAh·g^-1 at a current density of 100 mA·g^-1 after 300 cycles and very good stability up to 5,000 mA·g^-1. The simple preparation method combined with the good electro- chemical performance is highly promising to promote the application of Sn based anode materials.
