Abstract

All-solid-state batteries represent the next generation of electrochemical energy storage systems. A tin-carbon nanocomposite material is prepared by the electrospinning technique and employed as candidate anode material in such devices. The as-prepared material has been structurally and morphologically characterized. The electrochemical characterization of the Sn(nano)/C composite showed also good electrochemical reversibility, and stability upon 100 galvanostatic cycle experiments with a quite stable interface, as highlighted by impedance spectroscopy experiments.
