SnO2/α-MoO3 core-shell nanobelts and their extraordinarily high reversible capacity as lithium-ion battery anodes.

Extraordinarily high reversible capacity of lithium-ion battery anodes is realized from SnO(2)/α-MoO(3) core-shell nanobelts. The reversible capacity is much higher than traditional theoretical results. Such behavior is attributed to α-MoO(3) that makes extra Li(2)O reversibly convert to Li(+). © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011
