Single-nanocrystalline SnO2 particles encapsulated within hollow-structured carbon structures were synthesized. Encapsulated SnO2 is readily transformed into a blended amorphous structure composed of LixSnO1.45 (x = 0–7.3) after repeated lithiation–delithiation processes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
