Abstract

Using graphite oxide (GO) as a support for tin oxide, SnO2–GO materials were prepared by spray drying. The multi-wall carbon nanotube fiber paper (MP) instead of copper foil current collector loaded SnO2–GO materials. The MP is rough and porous surface increases the contact between the SnO2–GO materials and the current collector, providing more ion channels. The fluffy and porous structure inside the MP can not only increase the storage of the electrolyte, but also serve as a buffer matrix for the volume expansion of tin oxide. By calculation, the loading amount of the active material was 1.51 mg/cm2. The SnO2–GO/MP batteries have shown high specific capacity (2032.81 mAh g−1 of 100 mAh g−1), excellent cycle performance (827.76 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles), excellent coulombic efficiency (98.31%), and low internal resistance in repeated electrochemical tests.
