Abstract: Porous Cu was fabricated by electrodepositing using hydrogen bubbles as the dynamic template, and subsequently treated by annealing to increase the structural stability. The 3-dimentional porousCu6Sn5 alloy electrode was prepared by electrodepositing using the porous Cu as the substrate. The lithiation/delithiation potentials of 3-dimentional porousCu6Sn5 were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The initial lithiation process of 3-dimentional porous Cu6Sn5 alloy electrode at different temperature was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results indicate that the Nyquist plots are composed of three regions in the main lithiation range: high frequency arc representing solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) impedance, middle frequency arc representing charge transfer impedance, and low frequency arc representing phase transformation impedance. The change principles of the electrochemical impedance versus temperature were analyzed by simulating the experimental data using appropriate equivalent circuit.
