In this study, tin/tinoxide/multiwalled carbon nanotube (Sn/SnO2/MWCNT) nanocomposites were produced as anode materials for Li-ion batteries by a two-step process. Metallic tin was evaporated onto free-standing MWCNT buckypapers having controlled porosity and subsequently rf plasma oxidized in Ar:O2 (1:1) gas mix- ture. Besides, Sn/SnO2 nanocomposites were produced in the same conditions onto stainless steel substrates to make a comparison. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used to determine the structure and morphology of the obtained nanocomposites. The discharge/charge tests, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemi- cal impedance spectroscopy were carried out to characterize the electrochemical properties of these composites. Promising results were obtained in the tin based MWCNT nanocomposites for next-generation micro battery applications because of the high active surface area of the SnO2/MWCNT core-shell structures.
