Convenient fabrication of a core–shell Sn@TiO2 anode for lithium storage from tinplate electroplating sludge†
Abstract
We here report a unique preparation of a high-performance core–shell Sn@TiO2 anode for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) from tinplate electroplating sludge via a convenient process without deep purification. The Sn@TiO2 shows excellent electrochemical performance due to its core–shell structure. This work provides insight into addressing the electroplating sludge and designing high-performance LIB anodes.
