Abstract
In this work, we employ new chemistry to grow tin oxide nanosheets in the gel matrix of sulfonated polystyrene hollow spheres. After calcination in air, hierarchical hollow spheres assembled from SnO2 nanosheets can be obtained. In virtue of the porous shell structure and internal voids, these SnO2 hierarchical nanosheet hollow spheres exhibit improved lithium storage capability.Keywords
