The electrochemical performances of 1D SnO2 nanomaterials. nanotubes, nanowires, and nanopowders, are compared to define the most favorable morphology when SnO2 nanomaterials are adopted as the electrode material for lithium-ion batteries. Changes in the morphology of SnO2 are closely related with its electrochemical performance. Some SnO2 nanomaterials feature not only an increased energy density but also enhanced Li+ transfer. The correlation between the morphological characteristics and the electrochemical properties of SnO2 nanomaterials is discussed. The interesting electrochemical results obtained here on SnO2 nanomaterials indicate the possibility of designing and fabricating attractive nanostructured materials for lithium-ion batteries. © 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
