Key Points

The aim is to enhance the performance of tin anodes by improving the kinetics and reversibility of the Sn⁴⁺/Sn redox process.
Developed a carbon nanotube-modified electrode for the anode
Tested performance in high energy density battery settings
Assessed kinetics and reversibility of the Sn⁴⁺/Sn redox process
Showed significant improvement in anode kinetics
Enhanced reversibility of Sn⁴⁺/Sn transitions
Reduced issues related to dendrite formation

Implication

Demonstrates improved performance of a tin anode, highlighting its potential for better battery technology.

Abstract

Tin (Sn) is an attractive anode for high energy density batteries owing to its four-electron redox process (Sn⁴⁺→Sn²⁺→Sn) without dendrite formation. However, the sluggish kinetics and poor reversibility of Sn⁴⁺/Sn²⁺...
