Growth of SnO₂ Nanoflowers on N-doped Carbon Nanofibers as Anode for Li- and Na-ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: It is urgent to solve the problems of the dramatic volume expansion and pulverization of SnO₂ anodes during cycling process in battery systems. To address this issue, we design a hybrid structure of N-doped carbon fibers@SnO₂ nanoflowers (NC@SnO₂) to overcome it in this work. The hybrid NC@SnO₂ is synthesized through the hydrothermal growth of SnO₂ nanoflowers on the surface of N-doped carbon fibers obtained by electrospinning. The NC is introduced not only to provide a support framework in guiding the growth of the SnO₂ nanoflowers and prevent the flower-like structures from agglomeration, but also serve as a conductive network to accelerate electronic transmission along one-dimensional structure effectively.
