Abstract

We develop a facile gradient-temperature hydrothermal method to synthesize hierarchical Zn₂SnO₄ hollow boxes based on phase transformation between metastable ZnSnO₃ and stable Zn₂SnO₄. This strategy is widely extended to ZnSnO₃ microspheres, ZnSn(OH)₆ nanocubes and Co-ZIF-67 polyhedrons. When employed as a LIB anode, Zn₂SnO₄ hollow boxes exhibit apparently enhanced electrochemical performance.
