Compound Zn2Sn0.8Ti0.2O4 was synthesized by a hydrothermal method in which SnCl4-5H2O,TiCl4,ZnCl2 and N2H4-H2O were used as reactants.The composite Zn2Sn0.8Ti0.2O4/C was then prepared through a carbothermic reduction process using the as-prepared Zn2Sn0.8Ti0.2O4 and glucose as reactants.The structure,morphology and electrochemical properties of the as-prepared products were investigated by XRD,XPS,TEM and electrochemical measurements.In addition,electrochemical Li insertion/extraction in composite Zn2Sn0.8Ti0.2O4/C were examined by ex situ XRD and SEM.The first discharge capacity of Zn2SnO4 is about 1670.8 mA-h/g,with a capacity retain of 342.7 mA-h/g in the 40th cycle at a constant current density of 100 mA/g in the voltage range of 0.05-3.0 V.Comparing with the Zn2SnO4,some improved electrochemical properties are obtained for Zn2Sn0.8Ti0.2O4,Zn2SnO4/C and Zn2Sn0.8Ti0.2O4/C.The composite Zn2Sn0.8Ti0.2O4/C shows the best electrochemical properties,and its first discharge capacity is about 1530.0 mA-h/g,with a capacity retain of 479.1 mA-h/g the 100th cycle.
