摘要
Two into one does go: A high-yield preparation of carbon nanotube (CNT)-encapsulated Sn-Sb nanorods that exhibit excellent lithium storage properties is described. The perceived growth process involves a) antimony tin oxide nanoparticles, b) growth of carbon nanotubes induced by molten Sn-Sb alloy, and c) capillary encapsulation of molten Sn-Sb into carbon-nanotube interior (see scheme).
