FACILE TEMPLATE-FREE SYNTHESIS AND APPLICATIONS OF SnO2 NANOSPHERES IN LITHIUM ION BATTERIES

In this paper, SnO2 nanospheres have been synthesized via a surfactant-free solvothermal reaction followed by a heat treatment. CV results demonstrate that the formation of Li2O is partially reversible. Moreover, electrochemical measurements indicate the preferable electrochemical properties of SnO2 nanospheres.
