Microwave Synthesis of Nano-Sized SnO₂ for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Abstract:

SnO₂ nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by the microwave heating. The crystallite size of the SnO₂ nanoparticles was estimated to be about 3 nm from the Scherre’s equation. The initial lithium insertion capacity of the SnO₂ nanoparticles was 2110 mAh/g which is larger than that of the micro-sized commercial SnO₂ product. The rechargeable capacity at 10 cycles was 1060 mAh/g, and the capacity retention over the tenth cycles was about 50 %.
