Flower-shaped SnO2nanoplates were successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal treatment of a mixture of tin(II) dichloride dihydrate (SnCl2·2H2O) and sodium citrate (Na3C6H5O7·2H2O) in alkali solution. The obtained SnO2nanoplates were less than 5nm thick and self-assembled into flower-shaped nanostructures. The introduction of citrate was essential for the preparation of the SnO2nanoplates. The nanoscale shape and self-assembled architecture of SnO2nanoparticles were mainly controlled by the alkalinity of the solution. When the self-assembled SnO2nanostructures were used as anode materials in Li-ion batteries, they exhibit a reversible capacity of 670mAhg−1after 30cycles and an average capacity fading of 0.95% per cycle after the second cycle. The good electrochemical performance of the SnO2sample prepared via the hydrothermal synthesis indicates the possibility of fabricating specific self-assembled three-dimensional nanostructures for Li-ion batteries.
