Abstract:

The Sn–Cu nanocomposites composing of Sn, Cu6Sn5, Cu3Sn and SnO2 are synthesized by a facile precipitation method. Their morphologies and structures are characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution TEM. The electrochemical properties are investigated by charge–discharge testing, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. The sample with a Sn/Cu ratio of 5:3 delivers good cycling stability. The discharge specific capacity is 447.5 mAhg-1 after 70 cycles at a current density of 100 mAg-1 and the coulombic efficiency is beyond 95%. The superior rate and cycling performance of Sn–Cu nanocomposites are also demonstrated, which may be rooted in their nanostructure and phase composition.
