摘要

Thin-film anodes for Li-ion batteries prepared by using electrostatic spray deposition are reported. They consist of a tin-based amorphous oxide composite with a porous, spherical, multideck-cage morphology (see figure). The electrochemical properties of the thin-film electrodes are shown to be improved significantly by introducing Li2O and CuO, the ternary Li2O-CuO-SnO2 electrode being demonstrated to exhibit the best performance.
