Green synthesis of SnO2 nanosheets and their electrochemical properties

The SnO2 nanosheets were synthesized by a hydrothermal method for high-capacity lithium storage. The products were characterized by XRD, TEM and N2 adsorption/desorption. The electrochemical performance of SnO2 nanosheets was measured by galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling. The results show that the SnO2 nanosheets display superior Li-battery performance with large reversible capacity and good cycling stability.
