From Dough to Porous Nanostructured Sn−C Framework: A Green Anode Material for Lithium Ion Battery

Abstract This article provides a low cost and green environmental preparation method to produce a high performance of stannum‐carbon lithium battery anode material. The advantage of this method is not only for improving the performance and stability comparing with the stannum‐carbon lithium battery, but also show a way for the industrial scale for the applications at the same time. This paper provides a reasonably designed hybrid composite as lithium ion battery anode that shows a reversible capacity of 440 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles at 1.0 A g −1 . This result is mainly attributed to the nanocrystallization of stannum and the introduction of expansion space by combination of wheat flour nature properties and redox process.
