Abstract

Nano-sized SnO₂ hollow spheres are facilely synthesized by sol-gel method using the SiO₂ nanospheres as sacrificed templates, and their electrochemical properties are investigated as an anode application for lithium ion battery (LIB). The size of the hollow spheres is controlled by using different-sized templates. As-coated SnO₂ shell is almost amorphous and transformed into a rutile phase after annealing at 600 °C. The size of the SnO₂ hollow spheres ranges from 25 to 100 nm. The shell thickness is almost constant (∼5 nm) irrespective of the size of the hollow spheres. The hollow spheres showed the size dependent electrochemical properties, and the smallest SnO₂ (25 nm) hollow sphere exhibited a high reversible capacity of 750 mAh g^-1 as well as excellent cyclability.
