 This research has shown that a 5050, by mass, snow 2 slash T3C2TZ nanocomposite can be used as a negative electrode material for lithium ion batteries. It delivers over 500 mAh G1 for 700 cycles at 0.1 AG1 and exhibits excellent rate capability, with 340 mAh G1 at 8 AG1. This is attributed to the synergy between the two components of the nanocomposite, which was confirmed through exitoo chemical, structural, and morphological analysis. This knowledge allows for the first time to formulate a reaction mechanism with lithium ions that provides partial reversibility of the conversion reaction with the formation of snow.
