Abstract

Tin (Sn), as a potential lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) anode material, has acquired plentiful concern due to its low-cost, environmental benignity, high safety, and high theoretical capacity output (~994 mAh g−1 for Li22Sn5). Besides, some kinds of Sn-based compounds have also been researched for LIBs anodes, including nonmetallic compounds (such as SnO2, SnS, and SnSe) and intermetallic compounds (SnSb, CuSn, and CoSn). However, these Sn-based compounds anode materials are also difficult to release due electrochemical properties mainly blamed for huge volumetric expansion/contraction during Li+ insertion/extraction as well as consequent smash and aggregation. To avoid the above drawbacks, vast novel architectures from nanostructures to attached, core-shell, encapsulation, and porous structures based on electrospinning technique have been skillfully established to improve the electrochemical properties. In this chapter, the development to date about electrospinning Sn-based anode materials is discussed minutely by existent forms (simple substance or compound) of Sn and the outlook is also set forth.
