Abstract
The anode material has a remarkable effect on the overall performance of the Lithium-ion battery. In this study SnO2 modified TiO2 (SnO2@TiO2) composite as anode material was synthesized using simple and cost effective hydrothermal and chemical bath deposition method. This work improves the electrochemical performance of TiO2 through structural nanostructuring and combination with high-capacity SnO2. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the successful modification of TiO2 with Sn4+. Electrochemical tests demonstrated that sample annealed at 500 °C (ST-500 °C) exhibited the best performance among all samples. At a low charge/discharge rate (0.1 C), its initial delithiation capacity reached 422.7 mAh/g, a significant improvement compared to 271.1 mAh/g for pristine TiO2. Additionally, ST-500 °C achieved an initial Coulombic efficiency of 62.3 % and retained 79.8 % of its capacity after 100 cycles. After high-current cycling, the capacity recovery rate was as high as 90.3 % when returned to a 0.1 C rate. These results indicate that SnO2@TiO2 demonstrates excellent cycling stability and rate performance. Pre-lithiation with appropriate pre-lithiation parameters (1.0 V and 5 h) significantly enhances the battery's performance and cycling life.
