Abstract

The amorphous ZnSnO₃@C composite was synthesized via a simple glucose hydrothermal and subsequent carbonization approach. The structure, morphology and electrochemical property of the composite were characterized by XRD, TEM and electrochemical measurements. Compared to bare ZnSnO₃, the ZnSnO₃/C composite exhibited markedly enhanced lithium storage property and cycle performance, delivering a reversible capacity of 659 mAh·g^-1 after 100 cycles at a current density of 100 mA·g^-1.
