Abstract

Pure tin reacts readily with four lithium atoms, and so is a prime candidate as the host for the anode of lithium batteries. Tin foil and an expanded tin grid (microporous tin) have a capacity of >600 mAh/g over more than 10 deep reaction cycles, indicating the inherent reversibility of tin anode. The microporous tin showed superior chemical capacity retention. Different phases are observed during the intercalation of lithium. Capacity loss was observed after 10 cycles though, consistent with the significant increase of the cell impedance. For comparison aluminum expanded grids were also examined as hosts, where LiAl is formed. Capacities approaching 1 Ah/g were obtained. LiBOB (lithium bis(oxalato)borate) was also studied as the electrolyte salt for comparison with the reactive and high cost LiPF6 salt.
