▎ 摘　　要

Tin oxide is regarded as one of the most promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. However, the large volume change and low electrical conductivity during charge-discharge process hinder its practical application. In this work, carbon-coated SnO2/graphene nanocomposite is synthesized by in-situ polymerization of acrylic acid monomer and in-situ carbonization of polyacrylic acid hydrogel on the surface of three-dimensional porous structure SnO2/graphene. This unique structure ensures the stable combination of SnO2 nanoparticles with graphene and simultaneously avoids the agglomeration of SnO2 nanoparticles. Thus, the nanocomposite exhibits stable structure and excellent ionic/electronic conductivity during long-term lithiation/delithiation process. The discharge capacity of carbon-coated SnO2/graphene nanocomposite remains at 968 mAh g(-1) after 50 cycles at 100 mA g(-1) and 480 mAh g(-1) after 500 cycles at 1000 mA g(-1), which exhibits a significant improvement in both cyclability and rate capability for SnO2-based anode materials.
