Abstract

The difference in melting and boiling points between different materials is cleverly used, which the surface of tin oxide is coated with manganese oxide as a buffer layer, thereby suppressing the volume expansion. Considering that Li2O deposits will be generated during charge–discharge, which is not conducive to lithium ion insertion and causes irreversible capacity loss. Extraction of bio-carbon materials (BC) from waste cotton. The bio-carbon materials (BC) retains intact plant fibers and can effectively store electrolytes, improve lithium ion transmission rate, ensure electron conduction efficiency, and is also an excellent SnO2–Mn materials host. The SnO2–Mn@BC batteries prepared by combining the bio-carbon materials (BC) with the SnO2–Mn materials, which has excellent electrochemical performance, which the primary discharge specific capacity of electrode reached 2021.23mAh·g−1(current density of 100 mAh·g−1). After 100 cycles, the specific discharge capacity still maintained above 768.14 mAh·g−1 with a coulombic efficiency of 99.25%.
