Electrochemical activation of oxygen atom of SnO2 to expedite efficient conversion reaction for alkaline-ion (Li+/Na+/K+) storages

Yong Cheng et al.

Summary: Anode materials based on SnO2 have attracted attention due to their high capacity and relatively mild voltage platforms. However, their practical application is challenging due to low initial Coulombic efficiency and poor stability. Recent research has shown that compositing carbon or metal particles with SnO2 can achieve high alkaline-ion storages. In this work, a unique Co-NC shell derived from ZIF-67 is introduced to accelerate the conversion reaction between SnO2 and Sn phases, improving the efficiency and stability of the electrode material.
