Morphology and electrochemical properties of a composite produced by a peroxide method on the basis of tin dioxide and carbon black

Abstract

Using peroxostannate as a precursor, a composite material based on tin dioxide and carbon black was obtained, in which tin dioxide forms a coating on the surface of carbon black nanoparticles. The synthesized material was characterized by electron microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction analysis, and also the electrochemical characteristics of this material as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries were studied. The material demonstrates good stability and rate performance, which is indicative of the efficiency of the peroxide method for producing promising inexpensive anode materials based on tin dioxide and carbon black.
