title: Novel Preparation of N-Doped SnO2Nanoparticles via Laser-Assisted Pyrolysis: Demonstration of Exceptional Lithium Storage Properties.
abstract: Laser pyrolyzed SnO2nanoparticles with an option of nitrogen (N) doping are prepared using a cost-effective method. The electrochemical performance of N-doped samples is tested for the first time in Li-ion batteries where the sample with 3% of N-dopant exhibits optimum performance with a capacity of 522 mAh gactive material-1that can be obtained at 10 A g-1(6.7C).
