We report a facile and mass-producible carbothermal reduction process to synthesize a SnSb/C composite with enhanced conductivity through the small grains by restricting their size and aggregation. As-synthesized SnSb material consists of crystalline SnSb without residual oxide, and appears as a homogeneously distributed phase with carbon by XRD and TEM analysis. SnSb/C anode for Na-ion batteries exhibits outstanding electrochemical performances, showing a sodiation/desodiation capacity of 650/490 mAh-g-1, 265 mAh-g-1 at 4C rate, and 70% of capacity retention at 0.2C (100 mA g-1) over 200 cycles. SEM images of the after-cycled electrode does not show a significantly different morphology from the fresh electrode, indicating that the as-prepared SnSb electrode is free of pulverization caused by repeated sodiation/desodiation reactions. The electrochemical reaction mechanism of SnSb/C anode is suggested by ex-situ XRD measurements and high-resolution TEM analysis of fully sodiated and desodiated electrodes.
