Abstract

•Zn2SnO4 nanoparticles were prepared by facile solvothermal process.•NaHCO3 was firstly used as mineralizer in this process.•Zn2SnO4 showed higher capacity and cycling stability.•Zn2SnO4 showed excellent rate performance.

Zn2SnO4 nanoparticles have been prepared by a facile solvothermal process using NaHCO3 as a mineralizer. The Zn2SnO4 nanoparticles with a mean size of 50 nm were obtained after solvothermal treatment at 200 °C for 18 h. SnO2 nano-needles started to appear when the reaction time was extended to 24 h. As anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, the Zn2SnO4 nanoparticles exhibited initial capacities of 1322 and 784 mA h g−1 at the current density of 100 and 300 mA g−1, respectively. The as-prepared Zn2SnO4 nanoparticles showed quite good rate capability.
