Abstract
Zinc antimony oxide (ZnSb2O6), a relatively new anode having a tri-rutile type of structure, is synthesized by a solution-based synthesis route. Zinc antimony oxide–carbon black (ZSO-CB) electrodes are fabricated by electrophoretic deposition technique. Regarding, film quality and mass loading, a 3-minute deposition period at 100 V applied potential is shown to yield optimized performance. When used as an anode for lithium-ion battery (LIB), these electrodes show a steady capacity of 464 mAhg−1 at a specific current of 500 mAg−1 after 400 cycles. It exhibits an excellent rate capability of 370 mAhg−1 at 4000 mAg−1 specific current, which is comparable to that of the theoretical capacity of commercial graphite anode (372 mAhg−1). ZSO can therefore be a potential anode for LIBs.
