Figure 4. Electrochemical properties.
(a) Cycle performance of SnO2/Cu foam, SnO2 SG, and SnO2 NPs at current rate of 0.5 C during 50 cycles and their coulombic efficiencies. (b) Differential capacity profiles of the SnO2/Cu foam differentiated from the discharge voltage profile after the selected cycles. (c) Rate performance of the SnO2/Cu foam at various C-rates from 0.1 C to 2 C. (d) Voltage profiles of the SnO2/Cu foam at the final discharge/charge processes in each current rate step. (e) Comparison of capacity at different current rates for the SnO2/Cu foam with other Sn-based anode materials reported in recent years. All the specific capacity and current rate are calculated based on the mass of SnO2.
