Abstract: The Sn-Co/B composites were synthesized using solid\|state sintering and the influence of B element on the structures and electrochemical properties was analyzed. XRD results illustrate that Sn-Co alloy consists of CoSn phase. Adding B results in the refinement of grain size and the formation of CoSn2 phase. Constant-current cyclic testing show that adding B improves the cycle performance of Sn-Co alloy, but reduce its discharge capacity. The initial discharge capacity of Sn-Co/B(4%, mass fraction) is 216 mA•h/g and the capacity retention is 82.9% after 30 cycles, showing the composite has good structural stability.

Key words: Lithium-ion battery, Sn-Co alloy, Boron
