SnSb-carbon nanotube nanocomposites are prepared by mixing melt-spun nanocrystalline SnSb with carbon nanotubes. The composite with 10 wt% acid functionalized CNTs shows a good initial Coulombic efficiency of 79% and a reversible capacity of 860 mAhg−1 during the 40th cycle at a current density of 1...
