Porous SnO2/layered titanate nanohybrid with enhanced electrochemical performance for reversible lithium storage

A porous hybrid of titanate nanosheets with SnO2 nanoparticles has been realized by an exfoliation and reassembling route. The present nanohybrid shows a large reversible capacity of 860 mA h g(-1) with a good capacity retention (about 60% retention of the initial capacity after 50 cycles).
