Confining ultrahigh oxygen vacancy SnO2 nanocrystals into nitrogen-doped carbon for enhanced Li-ion storage kinetics and reversibility

doi:10.1016/j.jechem.2022.01.021

Abstract

Abstract: Oxygen vacancies (V_O) engineering has been deemed to an effective tactic for enhancing Li-ion storage kinetics and reversibility of SnO₂-based anode materials. Herein, we demonstrated the confinement of ultrahigh V_O SnO₂ nanocrystals into N-doped carbon frameworks to boost their high-rate and cycle life. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that abundant V_O in SnO₂ facilitates the adsorption to Li-ion with remarkably increased carrier concentration. The 6.0 nm-sized SnO₂ particles and the embed-ded design effectively stabilize the structural integrity during de-/lithiation. Meantime, the as-formed large hetero-interface also expedites the electron transfer. These merits guarantee its high-rate perfor-mance and superior cycling stability. Consequently, this sample exhibits a high capacity of 1368.9 mAh g^-1 at 0.1 A g^-1, and can still maintain 488.5 mAh g^-1 at 10 A g^-1 and a long life over 400 cycles at 5 A g^-1 with 96.6% capacity retention, which is among the best report for Sn-contained anode mate-rials. This work sheds light on ultrahigh Vo and structural design in conversion-type oxides for high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
