Abstract
The tin wire grown over anodic aluminium oxide template is used as anode for Li ion batteries. This work entails porous template formation through double step electrochemical oxidation method optimized by design of experiment and Tafel polarization. The X-ray diffraction results of different anodized specimens show amorphous alumina layer formation. The pores in alumina matrix and the filamentous outward projection of Sn wires are observed from micrographs. The initial discharge capacity of Sn wire and Sn planar thin film is observed to be around 850 and 531 mA h/g respectively. The 50th cycle capacity of Sn wire is observed to be around 494 mA h/g which is very high when compared to theoretical capacity of graphite anodes.
