As one promising anode material with high theoretical capacity, metallic tin has attracted much research interest in the field of lithium-ion batteries. Here, two types of tin/carbon (Sn@C) core–shell nanostructures with inner buffering voids are fabricated from SnO2 hollow nanospheres via a facile...
