Abstract

Porous SnO2 micro-tubes were synthesized by the thermal decomposition of SnC2O4 precursor. The morphology of SnC2O4 could be preserved after the controlled heat treatment and a lot of mesopores left due to the release of gases. The mesoporous nature with a range of 3-50 nm was characterized by BET method. SEM images showed that the obtained SnO2 samples were rhombic tube-like with swallow-tailed nozzles. When the porous SnO2 micro-tubes were used as anode materials for lithium-ion battery, they exhibited high lithium storage capacity and coulomb efficiency. In addition, CV results demonstrated that the formation of Li2O at high voltage was partially reversible reactions.
