Preparation and Electrochemical Properties of SnO₂ Nanowires for Application in Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Abstract

Long and thin: SnO2 nanowires with tetragonal structure were successfully synthesized by a thermal evaporation method without any conventional metal catalysts. The enhanced electrochemical performance of SnO2 nanowires is believed to result from the combination of unique nanostructures with a high length/diameter ratio and the absence of traditional metal catalysts.
