Abstract

Sb-doped tin oxide (ATO) microspheres prepared by a hydrothermal method as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The samples were characterized by XRD, BET and SEM. The electrochemical properties of ATO microspheres were examined by charge/discharge measurements. The results show that ATO microspheres exhibit much higher reversible capacity and better cycling performance.
