Abstract

This paper reports the synthesis of novel SnO₂@C yolk–shell spheres by using Sn spheres as sacrificial templates. When tested as a potential anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the SnO₂@C yolk–shell spheres demonstrate higher capacities, improved cycling stability, and higher rate capability owing to the unique structural characteristics. The enhanced lithium storage capabilities of SnO₂@C yolk–shell spheres make it an ideal anode candidate for advanced LIBs with long cycle life, high energy and power densities.
