Synthesis and Electrochemical Performance of SnO2/Graphene Anode Material for Lithium Ion Batteries

doi:10.3724/SP.J.1077.2013.12374

Abstract

Abstract:

SnO₂/graphene nanocomposites were in-situ prepared by using graphite oxide and SnCl₂·2H₂O as raw material, in which external reducing agent is not required. Compared with mechanical mixing method, it can avoid the congregation of SnO₂ nanoparticles and graphene. The analysis results (XRD, TEM, etc) indicate that SnO₂ nanoparticles are homogeneously dispersed on the surface of graphene layers with a particle size of 3-6 nm, and the thickness of graphene layers is about 1.5-2 nm. The main electrochemical performance can be concluded as follows. 1) The discharge capacity of SnO₂/graphene anode electrode after 100 cycles at 200 mA/g, remains at 552 mAh/g, and the capacity retention is 4.4 times of bare SnO₂. 2) The discharge capacities of SnO₂/graphene anode electrode at 40, 400 and 800 mA/g are 724.5, 426.0 and 241.3 mAh/g, respectively. The excellent rate capability should be attributed to the high electric conductivity and two-dimensional nanostructures of graphene.
