“…Graphene is an important 2D carbonaceous support material with exceptional properties, such as very good electrical conductivity, large surface area, high theoretical capacity of 744 mAh g −1 , and excellent mechanical properties. The last of these, for example, can help to avoid aggregation of SnO 2 particles and buffer volume changes during alloying/dealloying with Li ions; thus leading to better cycling stability (Figure ) …”

Herein, recent progress in the field of tin oxide (SnO2)‐based nanosized and nanostructured materials as conversion and alloying/dealloying‐type anodes in lithium‐ion batteries and beyond (sodium‐ and potassium‐ion batteries) is briefly discussed. The first section addresses the importance of the initial SnO2 micro‐ and nanostructure on the conversion and alloying/dealloying reaction upon lithiation and its impact on the microstructure and cyclability of the anodes. A further section is dedicated to recent advances in the fabrication of diverse 0D to 3D nanostructures to overcome stability issues induced by large volume changes during cycling. Additionally, the role of doping on conductivity and synergistic effects of redox‐active and ‐inactive dopants on the reversible lithium‐storage capacity and rate capability are discussed. Furthermore, the synthesis and electrochemical properties of nanostructured SnO2/C composites are reviewed. The broad research spectrum of SnO2 anode materials is finally reflected in a brief overview of recent work published on Na‐ and K‐ion batteries.

Superior reaction reversibility of electrode materials is urgently pursued for improving the energy density and lifespan of batteries. Tin dioxide (SnO2) is a promising anode material for alkali‐ion batteries, having a high theoretical lithium storage capacity of 1494 mAh g− based on the reactions of SnO2 + 4Li+ + 4e− ↔ Sn + 2Li2O and Sn + 4.4Li+ + 4.4e− ↔ Li4.4Sn. The coarsening of Sn nanoparticles into large particles induced reaction reversibility degradation has been demonstrated as the essential failure mechanism of SnO2 electrodes. Here, three key strategies for inhibiting Sn coarsening to enhance the reaction reversibility of SnO2 are presented. First, encapsulating SnO2 nanoparticles in physical barriers of carbonaceous materials, conductive polymers or inorganic materials can robustly prevent Sn coarsening among the wrapped SnO2 nanoparticles. Second, constructing hierarchical, porous or hollow structured SnO2 particles with stable void boundaries can hinder Sn coarsening between the void‐divided SnO2 subunits. Third, fabricating SnO2‐based heterogeneous composites consisting of metals, metal oxides or metal sulfides can introduce abundant heterophase interfaces in cycled electrodes that impede Sn coarsening among the isolated SnO2 crystalline domains. Finally, a perspective on the future prospect of the structural/compositional designs of SnO2 as anode of alkali‐ion batteries is highlighted.

SnO2 is considered to be a potential anode material in lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) owing to its high specific capacity of 1494 mAh g−1. Herein, we reported the unique core‐shell structured C@SnO2@CNTs composite with controllable outer carbon thickness, which was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method and subsequent annealing process. Results show that the C@SnO2@CNTs with outer carbon layer around 1.8 nm displays high reversible capacity and long‐term cycling performance. It maintains a capacity of 850 mAh g−1 should be at current density of 200 mA g−1 up to 100 cycles. Further analysis found that the C@SnO2@CNTs composite exhibits excellent structural stability even after 100 cycles, which contributes to provide a highway for charge transmission. These results give rise to superior electrochemical performance of C@SnO2@CNTs composite and provide new insight for design metal oxide composite anode materials in LIBs field.
