Abstract
Tin-based materials with high theoretical capacity and suitable working voltage are ideal anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, to overcome their shortcomings (volume expansion and inferior stability), the preparation processes are usually complicated and expensive. Herein, a tin-based metal–organic complex (tin 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, Sn-BDC) with one-dimensional microbelt morphology is synthesized by a facile, rapid and low-cost co-precipitation method, and served as anode material for LIBs without any post-treatment. Sn-BDC exhibits a high reversible capacity with 609/440 mAh·g−1 at 50/2000 mA·g−1, and robust cycling stability of 856 mAh·g−1 after 200 cycles at 200 mA·g−1, which are obviously superior to that of the SnOx/C counterparts. Moreover, an electrochemical reconstruction perspective on the lithium storage mechanism of Sn-BDC is proposed by systematic ex-situ characterizations. The reconstructed SnO2 replaces Sn-BDC and becomes the active material in the subsequent cycles. As the by-product of the lithiation reaction, the formed Li-based metal–organic complex (Li-BDC, wrapped around the reconstructed SnO2) plays an important role in alleviating volume expansion and accelerating the charge transfer kinetics. This work is beneficial to design and construct the new electrode materials based on the electrochemical reconstruction for advanced LIBs.

摘要
锡基材料具有较高的理论容量和合适的工作电压, 是锂离子电池理想的负极材料。为了克服它们的缺点(体积膨胀和稳定性差), 其制备过程通常是复杂和昂贵的。本文采用简便、快速、低成本的共沉淀法合成了一维微米带形态的锡基金属有机配合物 (Sn-BDC), 并将其作为锂离子电池的负极材料, 无需任何后处理。Sn-BDC在50/2000 mA·g−1下具有609/440 mAh·g−1的高可逆容量, 在200 mA·g−1的电流密度下循环200次具有856 mAh·g−1的稳定性能, 明显优于其热解得到的SnOx/C。此外, 通过系统的非原位表征, 提出了Sn-BDC储锂机理的电化学重构观点。重构的SnO2取代Sn-BDC, 成为后续循环中的活性物质。形成的锂基金属有机配合物(Li-BDC, 包裹在重构SnO2上)作为锂化反应的副产物, 在减轻体积膨胀和加速电荷转移动力学方面发挥着重要作用。本工作有利于基于电化学改造的新型锂离子电池电极材料的设计和构建。
