- B2O3-SnO2/G anode material is prepared by chemical heat solvent method for LIBs.
- B2O3-SnO2/G shows much improved cycling performance and rate capability.
- B2O3 plays an important role in improving the performance.
B2O3-SnO2/graphene (B2O3-SnO2/G) composite is fabricated via a chemical heat solvent method and utilized as anode material for lithium ion batteries. The added B2O3 dramatically improves the electrochemical performance of lithium ion batteries compared to the SnO2/G composite. The B2O3-SnO2/G composites as anode show an outstanding discharge capacity of 1404.9 mAh gâ1 at 500 mA gâ1 after 200 cycles and an excellent rate capacity, which apparently outperforms the previously reported SnO2-based anode material. These improved electrochemical performance characteristics are due to the B2O3 played a buffering role, which are easily beneficial for accommodating the volume change during the lithium ions insertion/extraction processes. Furthermore, boron atoms can accept electrons for its electron-deficient nature and boron ions could release electrons, which lead to electrons' increased density and conductivity are increased. The results indicate that the B2O3-SnO2/G composite is a promising anode material for lithium ion batteries.
