Abstract
A unique ordered mesoporous Sn–C composite with Sn nanoparticles confined in carbon nanorods was prepared using SBA-15 as the template. This composite was employed as the anode material of Li-ion batteries, delivering excellent electrochemical properties of high reversible lithium storage capacity (554 mAh g−1 after 200 cycles) and great rate capability (as high as 5000 mA g−1).
