"Fabrication of Highly Ordered Sn Nanowires in Anodic Aluminum Oxide Templates by Using AC Electrochemical Method"

• DOI: 10.26434/chemrxiv.7075127

abstract:

Sn and its nanostructures are one of the promising candidates to replace graphite in the anode of Lithium-ion batteries due to their higher capacity. One of the challenges, which limited the usage of Sn anodes for the Lithium-ion batteries, is Tin's high volumetric strain and its low cyclability. On the other hand, nanostructures show lower volume change during charge/discharge and as a result could address the cyclability issues. In this research, an alternating current (AC) electrochemical method is developed in order to facilitate the industrial scale production of Sn nanowires. The developed electrodeposition technique shows reliable controllability over chemical composition and crystalline structure of Sn nanowires. Also, the order structure of nanowires could be adjusted more accurately in comparison to conventional fabrication techniques. As a result, the Sn nanowires as well as Aluminum Oxide templates synthesized by using the developed electrochemical method are examined due to their morphology, chemical composition, and their crystalline structure in order to develop a practical relation between electrochemical composition of the solution and materials properties of Sn nanowires. The results show that the proposed electrodeposition method maintains a highly-ordered morphology as well as industrially acceptable controllability over crystalline structure of nanowires, which could be used to optimize the procedure for industrial applications due to low cost and simple experimental setup

Dear Francisco Manuel Marquez ,

welcome,

I propose that you can use a scaffold of TiO2 or you can produce a porous surface at a Silicon substrate and then deposit on a thin film of Sn. This will have the same effect of nanowires. In the end effect it will enlarge the contact surface with the electrolyte.

Best wishes

Dear Francisco,

thank you for sharing this interesting technical question wth the RG community. I noticed that some of the suggested literature references refer to the synthesis of tin dioxide nanoparticles which is apparently quite straightforward. For a good overview on the preparation of tin nanowires, please have a look at the following very useful review article:

As you can see, it often pays off to directly search the "Publications" section of RG for helpful articles.

Good luck with your research and best wishes, Frank Edelmann

Hi everyone, Thank you very much for all the suggestions. I'm going to consider all of them, and I'll tell you ...
