Abstract
Aromatic carbon coated tin composites (A/Sn) have been prepared by thermal decomposition of the stannous 1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylate precursors, which is a reformative preparation method. Sugar carbon coated tin composites (S/Sn) also are prepared as a contrast with the A/Sn composites. The morphology and composition of the products were characterized by Scanning Electricity Microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Their electrochemical performance as anode materials for lithium ion batteries were investigated; the results indicated that these materials exhibited good performance, and the cycle stability of A/Sn composites is especially superior to the S/Sn composites due to its special carbon resource.
