Abstract

Ananocomposite material (SnO <sub>2</sub>-Co <sub>3</sub>O <sub>4</sub>) has been synthesized as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries by the molten salt method. Characterization by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that the composite has a small particle size. The electrochemical performance was examined, including the charge-discharge and cycling properties. The experimental results showed that the sample containing the highest amount of Co <sub>3</sub>O <sub>4</sub> compound exhibited a specific capacity of 355 mAh g <sup>-1</sup> after 40 cycles, with cycling at 70mA g <sup>-1</sup> (35.2% higher than for the sample containing a lower amount of Co <sub>3</sub>O <sub>4</sub>). It seems that increasing the amount of Co <sub>3</sub>O <sub>4</sub> can give good capacity retention and high specific capacity. © 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
