Carbon-coated Ni3Sn2 nanoparticles embedded in porous carbon nanosheets as a lithium ion battery anode with outstanding cycling stability

Carbon-coated Ni₃Sn₂ nanoparticles uniformly embedded in two-dimensional porous carbon nanosheets (2D Ni₃Sn₂@C@PGC) as superior lithium ion battery anode material were fabricated by a facile and scalable method, which involves in situ synthesis of 2D Ni@C@PGC and chemical vapor transformation processes from 2D Ni@C@PGC to Ni₃Sn₂@C@PGC.
