Synthesis and performance of Zn2SnO4 as anode materials for lithium ion batteries by hydrothermal method

Hydrothermal synthesis of novel Zn2SnO4 octahedron microstructures assembled with hexagon nanoplates

“…ZTO has promising applications in photovoltaic devices, combustible gases and humidity detection, photo-electrochemistry, functional coatings, and transparent conducting electrodes owing to its good electron mobility, highelectrical conductivity, and low visible absorption [8][9][10][11][12][13]. Recently, such potential applications as electrode material for Li-ion batteries and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been demonstrated [12,[14][15][16].…”

Recently, such potential applications as electrode material for Li-ion batteries and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been demonstrated [12,[14][15][16]. In the literatures, ZTO has been prepared via thermal evaporation [7], high-temperature calcinations [17,18], sol-gel synthesis [10], ball-milling [19], chemical vapor deposition [20], radio frequency magnetron sputtering [13,21], hydrothermal reaction [12,[22][23][24] and thermal plasma [25].…”

Electrochemical performance of flowerlike CaSnO3 as high capacity anode material for lithium-ion batteries

“…The Sn-based binary oxides such as SnO 2 [14], SnO 2 /C [4], SnO 2 /Al 2 O 3 [15] have been widely studied. In addition, the Sn-based ternary oxides, especially, a number of stannates, ASnO 3 (A = Ca, Sr, and Ba) [12,[16][17][18] and M 2 SnO 4 (M = Mg, Mn, Co, Zn) [19][20][21][22] have been investigated as anode materials for LIBs. Recently, nanomaterials have attracted much interest as anodes for Li-ion batteries because of their larger reversible capacity, higher Li + diffusion coefficients, and better rate capability than conventional micrometer materials.…”

Phase Transformation of Metastable ZnSnO3 Upon Thermal Decomposition by In‐Situ Temperature‐Dependent Raman Spectroscopy

“…3 The inverse spinel structure of Zn 2 SnO 4 consist of a Zn atom that is centered at alternating tetrahedral of ZnO 4 with four nearest-neighbor oxygen (O) atoms, while equal numbers of Zn and Sn atoms located at the center of octahedral ZnO 6 or SnO 6 with six nearest-neighbors O atoms in the lattice. 6 Because of their superior electrical conductivity and high visible light transparency, 7 ZTO is also considered as a potential semiconductor material for solar cells, [8][9][10] photocatalysis, 11,12 gas sensors, [13][14][15] electrode material for Li-ion batteries 16 , and transparent conducting substrates 17 etc. Despite the importance of the material, no temperature-dependent Raman studies are available for the ZTO system exploring the phase transition process.…”
