On the Aggregation of Tin in SnO Composite Glasses Caused by the Reversible Reaction with Lithium

We show that the reaction mechanism in , and Li/SnO cells is common. During the first discharge, the oxygen bonded to tin (as SnO) reacts with lithium to give metallic tin (which can be present as clusters of a few atoms) and lithia. The tin reacts with further lithium to the composition limit of . ... View More
