Lithium ion batteries based on tin (Sn) anode have the advantage of high energy density with reasonable cost. However, their commercialization suffers from rapid capacity fading caused by active material aggregation, huge volumetric change and continuous formation/deformation of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). Herein, we report an anode made of nanosized metallic Sn particles embedded in hierarchically porous sulfur-doped graphene foam (Sn@3DSG). In this design, the sulfur-doped graphene foam renders an abundant active defect sites to facilitate rapid lithium ion diffusion from outside to inside the Sn nanoparticles. Meanwhile, the hierarchical pores resulting from the self-assembly of graphene and evaporation of nanosized metallic Zn provide sufficient spaces to hold the volumetric changes of Sn. Owing to these merits, the as-prepared Sn electrode exhibits an excellent lithiated capacity (1272 mA h g-1 at 200 mA g-1) and high-rate performance (345 mA h g-1 at 2000 mA g-1) in the LiFSI-based electrolyte. It is also discovered that a LiF-Li3N-rich SEI layer is formed on the surface of Sn electrode in LiFSI-based electrolyte, which is beneficial for enhancing the electrode's cycling stability. Our work shows great promise of the composite Sn anodes for future high-energy-density lithium ion batteries.
