Abstract

Both SnW3O9 and SnW3O9/C microspheres were successfully synthesized by a simple solvothermal method combined with low-temperature heat treatment. The structures and morphologies of the desired samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy techniques. Meanwhile, the electrochemical performances for both SnW3O9 and SnW3O9/C were tested as anode materials. Compared with the SnW3O9 electrode, the SnW3O9/C electrode has higher reversible capacity and better cycle performance. At the current density of 1000 mA g−1, it achieved an initial discharge capacity of 1327 mAh g−1 and retained at 873 mAh g−1 after 175 cycles. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements showed that SnW3O9/C electrode owned lower charge transfer resistance and larger Li+ diffusion coefficient than those of pure SnW3O9, which explained why SnW3O9/C behaved outstanding electrochemical performance during discharge/charge process. So, the SnW3O9/C composite is a potential anode material for the lithium-ion battery application.
