Sb-MOx-C (M = Al, Ti, and Mo) nanocomposites have been synthesized by a mechanochemical reduction of Sb2O3 with, respectively, Al, Ti, and Mo, in the presence of carbon (acetylene black). X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) data reveal that these nanocomposites are composed of uniformly dispersed nanostructured antimony in the amorphous Al2O3, TiO2, or MoO3 matrix, along with conductive carbon. These composite electrodes exhibit excellent electrochemical cycling performance and rate capability in lithium cells, compared to pure antimony. Among the three Sb-MOx-C systems studied, the M = Al system with Al2O3 as the amorphous phase exhibits the best electrochemical performance, offering a capacity of >430 mAh/g after 100 cycles. The improvement in the cycling performance, compared to that of pure antimony, is attributed to a homogeneous distribution of the electrochemically active Sb nan...
