Carbon nanofibers with highly dispersed tin and tin antimonide nanoparticles: Preparation via electrospinning and application as the anode, materials for lithium-ion batteries, Zhi Li, Jiwei Zhang∗, Jie Shu, Jianping Chen, Chunhong Gong, Jianhui Guo, Laigui Yu, Jingwei Zhang*, Journal of Power Sources, 2018, 381: 1-7.

We prepare one-dimensional carbon nanofibers with highly dispersed tin (Sn) and tin antimonide (SnSb) nanoparticles by electrospinning in the presence of antimony-doped tin oxide wet gel as the precursor. We investigate the effect of ATO dosage on the microstructure and electrochemical properties of the as-fabricated Sn-SnSb/C composite nanofibers.
