Article Synopsis
- Carbon-SnO composites are created by treating wood fibers with acetylacetone, mixing in a tin precursor, then carbonizing at high temperatures, preserving the fibers' structure.
- Advanced microscopy techniques reveal that the acetylacetone treatment helps maintain porosity during carbonization, while the controlled introduction of oxygen passivates tin nanoparticles.
- The final carbon-SnO material demonstrates impressive electrochemical properties, achieving a lithium-ion storage capacity of 280 mAh/g over 1000 cycles, attributed to the structural integrity of the wood fibers at the nanoscale and effective passivation of the tin.
