Abstract

A novel MWCNT/long nanotubular TiO₂(B) loaded with SnO₂ nanocrystals (SnO₂NC/TiO₂(B)NT/MWCNT) ternary composite has been prepared by two-step hydrothermal method and used as the anode material for the first time. In this work, the mechanical stirring improved the diffusion and surface reaction rates of reactants and promoted the appearance of longer intermediate TiO₂(B) nanosheets, leading to the formation of TiO₂(B) nanotubes with a length of ~9 μm. Among the SnO₂NC/TiO₂(B)NT/MWCNT composite, the wrapping and mechanical supporting functions of TiO₂(B) nanotubes can effectively avoid the pulverization and aggregation of SnO₂ nanocrystals (SnO₂NC) in lithium-ion charging and discharging process. Moreover, the synergistic effects of nanotubular TiO₂(B) coating layer and three-dimensional interconnected network structure composed of TiO₂(B) nanotubes and MWCNT were taken to mitigate volume expansion of SnO₂NC and improve the transport of lithium ion and electron in the network. Tested as anode materials, the SnO₂NC/TiO₂(B)NT/MWCNT composite maintained 211 mAh g⁻¹ at 3000 mA g⁻¹ after three testing processes with alternative current density of 200 and 3000 mA g⁻¹ and could rebound to 338 mAh g⁻¹ at a current density of 200 mA g⁻¹, indicating an effective way to optimize electrochemical properties of SnO₂ as anode material.
