Abstract:

SnO2/polypyrrole composites as anode material of lithium ion batteries were in-situ prepared by an one-step precipitation in the suspension of the polypyrrole synthesized in advance. It is found that the morpho-logy of polypyrrole has an obvious effect on the electrochemical performance of SnO2/polypyrrole composite anode. The granular polypyrrole(G-PPy) displayed advantages over the tubular polypyrrole. The composite containing G-PPy reached the first coulombic efficiency of 77.6% and remained a reversible specific capacity higher than 600 mA·h/g after 60 cycles. The good flexibility and adhesion of polypyrrole could make a contribution to the enhancement of the electrochemical performance of SnO2 based anode.

Key words: SnO2/polypyrrole anode, Tubular polypyrrole, Globular polypyrrole, Lithium ion battery
