Highlights: • The electrochemical reaction of SnO2 as an anode for Na-ion batteries was studied. • The SnO2 electrode delivered the initial discharge capacity of 747 mAh/g. • Alarge irreversible capacity (597 mAh/g)was observedin the first cycle. • The in-plain crack in the electrode caused the incompletereduction of SnO{sub 2}. - Abstract: Tin dioxide was investigated as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries. The Na/SnO{sub 2} cell delivered a first discharge capacity of 747 mAh/g, but the first charge capacity was 150 mAh/g. The irreversible capacity in the first cycle was examined through characterization by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the SnO{sub 2} active material was not reduced fully to metallic Sn. Furrows and wrinkles were formed on the electrode surface owing to the volumetric expansion upon first discharge, which led to a deterioration of the electrode structure and a loss of electrical contact between the active materials. The analysis is summarized in the schematic drawing.
