Cu-Sn powder has spherical morphology and the particle size is estimated to be 60～70nm. The electrochemical performances of CoSn alloy and Cu-Sn powder were studied using lithium-ions model cell Li/LiPF₆ (EC+DMC)/CoSn (or Cu-Sn). It was demonstrated the reversible discharge capacities for 10 cycles keep above 280mAh·g^-1 for nanophase Cu-Sn， and 60mAh·g^-1 for CoSn alloy.

Optimization of tin intermetallics and composite electrodes for lithium-ion batteries obtained by sonochemical synthesis

The optimization of active electrode materials for advanced lithium batteries obtained by sonochemically promoted reactions is discussed. Composites containing amorphous CoSn intermetallic compound and exfoliated graphite are prepared by a combination of graphite mechanical exfoliation followed by the reduction of Co²⁺ and Sn²⁺ solutions in tetraethyleneglycol with NaBH₄ with simultaneous high-intensity ultrasonication. X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy reveal relevant similarities with the negative electrode of the commercial Nexelion? battery. The resulting nanocomposite is tested as an electrode material using a lithium polyacrylate binder. The electrochemical cycling in lithium test cells shows capacities around 400 mAh/g after 400 cycles, and the ac impedance spectra reveal low resistance values. In the first discharge, nanocrystalline Li _x Sn is formed. After cycling, the metallic nanoparticles (ca. 7–20 nm) remain to be X-ray amorphous and embedded in the binder.     

Ordering double perovskite hydroxides by kinetically controlled aqueous hydrolysis

The precipitation of crystals with stoichiometric and ordered arrangements of distinct metal cations often requires carefully designed molecular precursors and/or sufficient activation energy in addition to the necessary mass transport. Here, we study the formation of ordered double perovskite hydroxides, MnSn(OH)(6) and CoSn(OH)(6), of the generic chemical formula, BB'(OH)(6) (no A site), using kinetic control of aqueous hydrolysis from simple metal salt solutions. We find that the precipitation yields ordered compounds only when the B ion is Mn(II) or Co(II), and not when it is any other divalent transition metal ion, or Zn(II). The key step in forming the compounds is the prevention of rapid and uncontrolled hydrolysis of Sn(IV), and this is achieved by a fluoride counteranion. The two compounds, MnSn(OH)(6) and CoSn(OH)(6), are studied by high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction and from the temperature dependence of magnetic behavior. From maximum entropy image restoration of the electron density and from Rietveld analysis, the degree of octahedral distortion and tilting and the small extent of anti-site disorder are determined. From the nonoverlapping electron density, we infer strongly ionic character of bonding. As the first magnetic study of such materials, we report simple paramagnetic behavior with no long-range magnetic order down to 2 K for the Mn(II) compound, while the cobalt compound presents uncompensated antiferromagnetic interactions, attributed to the single-ion anisotropy of octahedral Co(II).     

Importance of nanostructure for high capacity negative electrode materials for Li-ion batteries

Sn–Co–C alloys are currently used as negative electrode materials for Li-ion batteries. A comparison between sputter deposited and mechanically alloyed Sn–Co–C materials has revealed a difference in the achieved specific capacity of materials prepared by the two methods. Only the sputtered materials reached the expected capacity even though both types of materials showed similar X-ray diffraction patterns. The structure of these materials has been described as being grains of amorphous CoSn embedded in a carbon matrix. Here, the sizes of the CoSn grains were determined using small angle neutron scattering measurements on various Sn₃₀Co₃₀C₄₀ samples. Small grain sizes, on the order of 10 Å, were obtained for the sputtered samples while grain sizes between 55 and 100 Å were obtained for samples with the same composition but prepared by mechanical alloying methods. The inability of the mechanically prepared materials to achieve their theoretical capacity may be due to the larger size of the CoSn grains.     

The Neat Ternary Solid K(5-x) Co(1-x) Sn(9) with Endohedral [Co@Sn(9) ](5-) Cluster Units: A Precursor for Soluble Intermetalloid [Co(2) @Sn(17) ](5-) Clusters

A new type of Zintl phase is presented that contains endohedrally filled clusters and that allows for the formation of intermetalloid clusters in solution by a one-step synthesis. The intermetallic compound K(5-x) Co(1-x) Sn(9) was obtained by the reaction of a preformed Co?Sn alloy with potassium and tin at high temperatures. The diamagnetic saltlike ternary phase contains discrete [Co@Sn(9) ](5-) clusters that are separated by K(+) ions. The intermetallic compound K(5-x) Co(1-x) Sn(9) readily and incongruently dissolves in ethylenediamine and in the presence of 4,7,13,16,21,24-hexaoxa-1,10-diazabicyclo[8.8.8]hexacosane (2.2.2-crypt), thereby leading to the formation of crystalline [K([2.2.2]crypt)](5) [Co(2) Sn(17) ]. The novel polyanion [Co(2) Sn(17) ](5-) contains two Co-filled Sn(9) clusters that share one vertex. Both compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. The diamagnetism of K(5-x) Co(1-x) Sn(9) and the paramagnetism of [K([2.2.2]crypt)](5) [Co(2) Sn(17) ] have been confirmed by superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) and EPR measurements, respectively. Quantum chemical calculations reveal an endohedral Co(1-) atom in an [Sn(9) ](4-) nido cluster for [Co@Sn(9) ](5-) and confirm the stability of the paramagnetic [Co(2) Sn(17) ](5-) unit.     

Shape-controlled conversion of beta-Sn nanocrystals into intermetallic M-Sn (M=Fe, Co, Ni, Pd) nanocrystals

The ability to control the shape of metal nanocrystals is critical to applications such as catalysis, magnetism, and plasmonics. Despite significant advances in controlling the shapes of single-metal nanocrystals, rigorous shape control of multimetal nanocrystals remains challenging, and has been limited largely to alloy systems of similar metals. Here we describe a robust strategy that produces shape-controlled intermetallic nanocrystals involving elements of notably different reduction potentials, reduction kinetics, and reactivity. The approach utilizes shape- and size-controlled beta-Sn nanocrystals as reactive templates that can be converted into binary M-Sn (M=Fe, Co, Ni, Pd) intermetallic compounds by reaction with appropriate metal salt solutions under reducing conditions. The result, demonstrated in detail for the FeSn2 system, is a variety of nanostructures with morphologies that include spheres, cubes, hollow squares, U-shaped structures, nanorods, and nanorod dimers. Our experiments demonstrate a size- and shape-dependent reactivity toward the formation of hollow FeSn2 nanostructures and provide empirical guidelines for the formation of other intermetallic nanocrystals. In addition to those of FeSn2, nanocrystals of intermetallic PdSn, CoSn3, and NiSn3 can be formed using this same chemical conversion strategy.     

Low-temperature solution synthesis of the non-equilibrium ordered intermetallic compounds Au3Fe, Au3Co, and Au3Ni as nanocrystals

Alloys and intermetallic compounds of Au with the 3d transition metals Fe, Co, and Ni are nonequilibrium phases that have many useful potential applications as catalytic, magnetic, optic, and multifunctional magneto-optic materials. However, the atomically ordered Au-M (M = Fe, Co, Ni) intermetallics are particularly elusive from a synthetic standpoint. Here we report the low-temperature solution synthesis of the L12 (Cu3Au-type) intermetallic compounds Au3Fe, Au3Co, and Au3Ni using n-butyllithium as a reducing agent. Reaction pathway studies for the Au3Co system indicate that Au nucleates first, followed by Co incorporation to form the intermetallic. The nonequilibrium intermetallic nanocrystals have been characterized by powder XRD, TEM, EDS, selected area electron diffraction, and nanobeam electron diffraction, which collectively confirm the compositions and superlattice structures.     

Reacting the unreactive: a toolbox of low-temperature solution-mediated reactions for the facile interconversion of nanocrystalline intermetallic compounds

Metallurgical materials, including intermetallic compounds, are notoriously inert toward low-temperature reactivity. However, as nanocrystals, their reactivity is significantly enhanced. Here we show that intermetallic PtSn and AuCu nanocrystals can be converted, in solution at low temperatures, into derivative intermetallics. For example, PtSn can be converted into PtSn2 and Pt3Sn by reaction with SnCl2 and K2PtCl6, respectively. The reactions are also reversible, for example, the sequences PtSn --> PtSn2 --> PtSn and PtSn --> Pt3Sn --> PtSn are all readily achievable. The strategy also allows nanocrystalline AuCu to be successfully converted into AuCu3 via reaction with Cu(C2H3O2)2.H2O, suggesting that this approach may be general.
