Hierarchical synthesis of Mo–Sn oxide cage-bell hybrid structures with superior lithium storage†
Abstract
A facile generic solvothermal alcoholysis strategy is employed to prepare Mo–Sn oxide cage-bell hybrid nanoparticle aggregates. The intrinsic hollow core–shell nature as well as the multi-element characteristics of active components of the unique nanostructures contribute greatly to the enhanced performance as anode materials for lithium ion batteries.
