A new SnO2-Fe2O3/SWCNTs（single-walled carbon nanotubes） ternary nanocomposite was first synthesized by a facile hydrothermal approach.SnO2 and Fe2O3 nanoparticles（NPs） were homogeneously located on the surface of SWCNTs,as confirmed by X-ray diffraction（XRD）,transmission electron microscope（TEM） and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy（EDX）.Due to the synergistic effect of different components,the as synthesized SnO2-Fe2O3/SWCNTs composite as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries exhibited excellent electrochemical performance with a high capacity of 692 mAh·g-1 which could be maintained after 50 cycles at 200 mA·g-1.Even at a high rate of2000 mA·g-1,the capacity was still remained at 656 mAh·g-1.
The electronic structures of single-walled carbon nanotubes （SWCNTs） were modulated by filling with tetracyanoquinodimethane （TCNQ）, a strong electron acceptor. The structures of TCNQ-filled SWCNTs were checked by X-ray diffraction analysis, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Optical absorption spectroscopy demonstrated an enhanced reactivity between aryl diazonium and semiconducting SWCNTs.
