Tandem plasma reactions for Sn/C composites with tunable structure and high reversible lithium storage capacity

A tandem plasma reaction method enables controlled preparation of Sn/C composites for LIB anode application, allowing a systematic study on the correlation between the reversible capacity and the structural parameters. The results suggest that reducing the Sn particle size is beneficial for attaining high reversible capacity. The carbon layer thickness, on the other hand, shows a much weaker correlation with the reversible capacity.
