Abstract:
In this study, the multi-step design of nano Sn-Cu-C core–shell composite for high stability and long life lithium ion battery electrodes has been introduced. The core–shell Sn-Cu composite was successfully synthesized via electroless copper coating and subsequently a thin carbon layer was coated on the surface of Sn-Cu core-shell structure by microwave hydrothermally synthesis method. The surface morphology of the produced core-shell Sn-Cu-C composite powders was characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was applied to investigate the structure of the Sn-Cu-C composite powders. The electrochemical performances of the electrodes have been investigated in the voltage range of 0V to 2.0 V at the constant current of 200 mA g-1. Eventually, the produced carbon coated Sn-Cu core-shell composite electrode showed 451 mAh/g discharge capacity after 30 cycles due to buffering effect of copper and thin carbon layer on the surface of tin powders.
