Large-Scale Synthesis of SnO2 Nanotube Arrays as High-Performance Anode Materials of Li-Ion Batteries

Abstract

This paper presents the large-scale synthesis of SnO2 nanotube arrays on titanium substrate via ZnO nanowire arrays as sacrificial templates. The SnO2 nanotube arrays on titanium substrate feature the large surface area, good electronic conductivity, and adhesion with the current collector, leading to the enhanced performance in lithium-ion batteries.
