SnO2@TiO2 double-shell nanotubes for a lithium ion battery anode with excellent high rate cyclability

Nanoscale. 2013 Sep 21;5(18):8480-3. doi: 10.1039/c3nr01964k.

Abstract

SnO2@TiO2 double-shell nanotubes have been facilely synthesized by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using electrospun PAN nanofibers as templates. The double-shell nanotubes exhibited excellent high rate cyclability for lithium ion batteries. The retention of hollow structures during cycling was demonstrated.
