Progress on the modification of tin dioxide materials for electrochemical lithium storage
The rapid developments of new energy vehicles and smart grids have driven the innovation of battery energy storage technology.Tin dioxide is considered as a potential alternative to traditional graphite anodes for lithium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical specific capacity and abundant reserves.However,the commer-cial application of tin dioxide is limited by its low initial coulombic efficiency(ICE),short cycle life and poor e-lectrical conductivity.In this paper,we focus on the performance drawbacks of tin dioxide for electrochemical lithium storage,and introduce the modification strategies of tin dioxide anode materials and their research pro-gress.Furthermore,we prospect the application of tin dioxide in the field of lithium-ion batteries.
