Abstract

A protein-inspired facile approach to synthesise carbon-coated SnO₂ nanocrystals (NCs) is presented. The carbon coating content could be readily tuned by adjusting the pH value of the reaction solution. The obtained carbon-coated SnO₂ NCs showed a markedly improved lithium storage ability.
