Abstract

In this research work, a carbon nanotube (CNT) structure was coated with Sn metal (Sn@CNT) for use as anode material in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The CNTs were first grown on a silicon wafer using a direct-current plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (dc-PECVD) technique, with nickel as catalyst and acetylene plasma gas in a forest growth method. Then Sn metal was deposited onto the CNTs with three different thicknesses of 10 nm, 20 nm, and 30 nm by dc-magnetron sputtering. The possible impact of Sn decoration on the D and G bands of CNTs was determined. Finally, the role of Sn thickness in the electrochemical performance of the three anodes for LIBs was investigated. The results showed that in order to achieve coulombic efficiency above 95%, a minimum of three cycles was needed for the 10-Sn@CNT anode.
