Among high-capacity materials for the negative electrode of a lithium-ion battery, Sn stands out due to a high theoretical specific capacity of 994 mA h/g and the presence of a low-potential discharge plateau.

In commonly used batteries, the negative electrode is graphite with a specific electrochemical capacity of 370 mA h/g and an average operating potential of 0.1 V with respect to Li/Li +. There are a large number of anode materials with higher theoretical capacity that could replace graphite in the future.
To be used as a lithium-ion battery material, it is, however, not enough that the material has a high electronic conductivity and a high surface area. A good negative electrode material also needs to undergo a reduction during the lithiation step and an oxidation during the subsequent delithiation step.
During the initial lithiation of the negative electrode, as Li ions are incorporated into the active material, the potential of the negative electrode decreases below 1 V (vs. Li/Li +) toward the reference electrode (Li metal), approaching 0 V in the later stages of the process.
Mainly, the high solubility in aqueous electrolytes of the ZnO produced during cell discharge in the negative electrode favors a poor reproducibility of the electrode surface exposed to the electrolyte with risk of formation of zinc dendrites during charge. In order to avoid this problem, mixing with graphite has favorable effects.
The origins of such a poor cycling performance are diverse. Mainly, the high solubility in aqueous electrolytes of the ZnO produced during cell discharge in the negative electrode favors a poor reproducibility of the electrode surface exposed to the electrolyte with risk of formation of zinc dendrites during charge.
The limitations in potential for the electroactive material of the negative electrode are less important than in the past thanks to the advent of 5 V electrode materials for the cathode in lithium-cell batteries. However, to maintain cell voltage, a deep study of new electrolyte–solvent combinations is required.
