Chestnut-like SnO2and SnO2/C nanocomposites with hierarchical structures are synthesized by hydrothermally oxidizing Sn nanoparticles in glucose solution. Structural characterizations using SEM and TEM reveal that the SnO2nanoparticles are composed of numerous, randomly arranged SnO2nanosheets with hollow cores. Owing to the short electron and ion diffusion distances and transformation strain accommodation mechanism of this structure the new SnO2/C nanocomposites exhibit enhanced lithium ion storage properties with a capacity of ~930 mAh g−1and capacity retention of about 96% after 100 cycles at 0.1 C. Anin situTEM study of the electrochemically driven lithiation/delithiation of SnO2/C nanocomposites reveals that their enhanced cycling stability is mainly facilitated by the limited volume expansion and excellent mechanical robustness of the hollow chestnuts.
