SnO2 nanowires directly grown on flexible substrates can be a good electrode for lithium ion battery. However, Sn-based (metal Sn or SnO2) anode materials always suffer from poor stability due to a large volume expansion during cycling. In this work, we utilize atomic layer deposition (ALD) to surfa...
