Electrospun eggroll-like CaSnO₃nanotubes with high lithium storage performance

Abstract

Novel eggroll-like CaSnO(3) nanotubes have been prepared by a single spinneret electrospinning method followed by calcination in air for the first time. The electrospun sample as a lithium-ion battery electrode material exhibited improved cycling stability and rate capability by virtue of the high surface area and unique hollow interior structure, compared to nanorod-structured CaSnO(3).
