Abstract

Electrolytic deposits of tin-nickel alloys as anodes for lithium-ion batteries were investigated by potentiodynamic and galvanostatic cycling methods in solutions of ethylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, and LiClO4 (1 mol/L). It has been shown that the deposits of tin-nickel alloys obtained from alkaline tartrate-trilonate electrolytes in the first cycles are characterized by a high specific capacity of up to 700 mA h/g, which decreases to 500 mA h/g during the cycling. The tin-nickel alloys obtained are able to ensure high charge-discharge current densities without mechanical destruction.
