摘要
The metal tin(Sn),as one potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries,rapidly degrades its cyclic performance due to huge volume expansion/contraction during lithium intercalation/de-intercalation process.Amorphous carbon was adopted as conductive and buffer matrix to form Sn/C composites.The products were prepared by hydrothermal reaction and carbothermal reduction using tin tetrachloride and glucose as raw materials.The composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),Raman spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),cyclic voltammetry(CV) and galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements.The results show that relative smaller metallic tin particles in 1:8 Sn/C composite are formed and distributed more uniformly in the carbon matrix.The lithium intercalation capacity of Sn/C composites reaches 820.4 mAh·g-1,and the capacity retention over 60 cycles remains 54.1%.1:8 Sn/C composite exhibits enhanced rate performance and cyclic stability compared to1:5 and 1:10 samples.
