Hydrothermal preparation of nano-SnO2 electrode materials and their lithium storage properties

Abstract

Abstract: SnO₂ anode material was prepared by a simple hydrothermal method using SnCl₂·2H₂O, polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG400) and Na₃C₆H₅O₇·2H₂O as the main raw materials. The composition and microscopic morphology of the prepared negative materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Theelectrochemical properties were also tested using galvanostatic charge/discharge (DC) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) methods. The results showed that the addition of PEG400 can effectively improve the surface morphology of SnO₂, reduce its agglomeration phenomenon and significantly improve the electrochemical properties. When the addition content was 10 mL, the synthesized SnO₂ has good cycling and multiplicative performance with a first discharge capacity of 2 774 mAh/g andthe discharge capacity of 600 mAh/g after 50 cycles, which was significantly higher than that of SnO₂ electrode materialsbefore the modification.
