Nano-Confined Tin Oxide in Carbon Nanotube Electrodes via Electrostatic Spray Deposition for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: The development of novel materials is essential for the next generation of electric vehicles and portable devices. Tin oxide (SnO₂), with its relatively high theoretical capacity, has been considered as a promising anode material for applications in energy storage devices. However, the SnO₂ anode material suffers from poor conductivity and huge volume expansion during charge/discharge cycles. In this study, we evaluated an approach to control the conductivity and volume change of SnO₂ through a controllable and effective method by confining different percentages of SnO₂ nanoparticles into carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The binder-free confined SnO₂ in CNT composite was deposited via an electrostatic spray deposition technique. The morphology
