Abstract

Abstract : In article number 1606023, Chengzhong Yu and co‐workers describe the synthesis of novel yolk‐shell Sn@C nanoboxes via a facile, template‐free strategy. The thickness of the carbon shell is proved crucial to the nanostructure and electrochemical performance. With an optimized thickness, the Sn@C nanoboxes exhibit a high specific capacity, excellent rate capability, and long cycle life as an anode in lithium ion batteries.
