Abstract

Hollow Zn2SnO4@N-C composites were synthesized after the calcined process of precursor. The N-doped carbon coating layers, as a physical buffering matrix to reinforce the hollow structure, prevent interparticle agglomeration and improve the electronic conductivity of the electrodes. Compared with our previous studies, Zn2SnO 4@N-C composites show an enhanced electrochemical performance (616 mA h g-1 after 45 cycles) and high rate capability. With rational and delicate design, this kind of composites may be the potential anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
