New way of making the negative electrode for Li-ion batteries

Xianbo in Wuhan University has led an investigation of direct electrochemical reduction of mixed tin oxide (SnO₂) and antimony oxide (Sb₂O₃) in sulfuric acid to a porous alloy of Sn/SnSb which exhibited very promising dis-/charging capacity when applied directly as the negative electrode in a laboratory lithium ion battery. The work will soon be published.
