To remove the impurity the mild oxidation was done on the samples. The electrochemical characteristics of the two samples are investigated by the galvanostatic charge-discharge measurements and cyclic voltammetry. The structural and interfacial changes of the CNTs electrode were analyzed by XRD and FT-IR. The samples show a reversibility of lithium intercalation and de-intercalation. The reversible capacities of the first five cycles are larger than 300 mAh/g and the irreversible capacity of the first cycle was much larger than that mentioned in literatures. There is no identical change in the structure during the charge and discharge. The reactions at the interface between electrode and the electrolyte are similar to those of other carbonaceous materials.展开更多

The structures of the artificial graphite (AG), the Sn6O4(OH)4, and the Sn6O4(OH)4JAG were analyzed using X-ray diffraction. The electrochemical lithiation was investigated by measuring the galvanostatic charge and discharge ratio. The electrochemical capacities of the three materials during the first discharge were 310 mAh/g (AG), 616 mAh/g (Sn6O4(OH)4/AG), and 1090 mAh/g (Sn6O4(oa)4). The discharge capacity of the Sn6O4(OH)4/AG was larger than the simple sum of the capacities provided by AG and Sn6O4(OH)4 with the same content. The cyclic performance of Sn6O4(OH)4/AG was also better than that of Sn6O4(OH)4 for voltages of 0 to 3 V. The results imply that the interaction between Sn and C in Sn6O4(OH)4/AG is very strong and effectively inhibits the volume expansion of the Sn.展开更多
