Tin dioxide (SnO₂) is a widely investigated lithium (Li) storage material because of its easy preparation, two-step storage mechanism and high specific capacity for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this contribution, a phase-pure cobalt-doped SnO₂ (Co/SnO₂) and a cobalt and nitrogen co-doped SnO₂ (Co-N/SnO₂) nanocrystals are prepared to explore their Li storage behaviors. It is found that the morphology, specific surface area, and electrochemical properties could be largely modulated in the doped and co-doped SnO₂ nanocrystals. Gavalnostatic cycling results indicate that the Co-N/SnO₂ electrode delivers a specific capacity as high as 716 mAh g^–1 after 50 cycles, and the same outstanding rate performance can be observed in subsequent cycles due to the ionic/electronic conductivity enhancement by co-doping effect. Further, microstructure observation indicates the existence of intermediate phase of Li₃N with high ionic conductivity upon cycling, which probably accounts for the improvements of Co-N/SnO₂ electrodes. Furthermore, we find that the method of synergetic doping into SnO₂ with Co and N, with which the electrochemical performances is enhanced remarkably, undoubtedly, will have an important influence on the material itself and community of LIBs as well.
