Paper
A simple template-free hydrothermal method has been developed to prepare multi-shelled SnO2 hollow spheres with controlled interior texture. The interior texture and size of the multi-shelled SnO2 hollow spheres were found to be strongly dependent on the carbon source, Sn salt precursor and molar ratio of G : M. The multi-shelled SnO2 hollow spheres exhibit good electrochemical performance as the anode material in lithium ion batteries.
