Abstract

To work against the volume expansion (∼300%) of SnO₂ during lithiation, here a sub-micro sized, interconnected, and porous SnO₂ cube with rationally designed reserved space (∼375%) is synthesized via an artful topochemistry route (CaSn(OH)₆-CaSnO₃-SnO₂). Owing to its microstructure, this novel material harvests enhanced lithium-storage performance.
