Electrochemical performance of rod-like Sb-C composite as anodes for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries

Rod-like Sb-C composite has been synthesized by a synchronous reduction and carbon deposition process. The Sb-C composite anode exhibits a reversible capacity of 478.8 mA h g(-1) at 100 mA g(-1) after 100 cycles for Li-ion batteries and exhibits a reversible capacity of 430.9 mA h g(-1) at 50 mA g(-1) after 100 cycles for Na-ion batteries.
