Abstract
To address the volume change-induced pulverization problem of tin-based anodes, a concept using hollow carbon nanoballs (HCNBs) as buffering supports is herein proposed. HCNBs with hollow interior, flexibility and graphitic crystallization are first prepared by a combined method of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and template-synthesis using CH4 as the carbon source and CaCO3 as the conformal template. The ultrafine SnO2 nanoparticles are loaded onto the HCNBs (denoted as SnO2@HCNBs) via pyrolysis of tin(ii) 2-ethylhexanoate at 300 °C in air. On further annealing SnO2@HCNBs in Ar, SnO2 is partially reduced to SnOx by consuming a part of carbon of HCNBs as the reducing agent, and thus SnOx@HCNBs are obtained (note that SnOx represents a composite consisting of SnO2, SnO and Sn phases). When applied as anode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), HCNBs deliver high reversible capacities of 841 mA h g-1 after 125 cycles at 200 mA g-1, and 726 mA h g-1 after 400 cycles even at 1000 mA g-1, while SnO2@HCNBs and SnOx@HCNBs exhibit discharge capacities of 1042 and 1299 mA h g-1 after 400 cycles at 200 mA g-1, respectively. Notably, all of them display gradually increased capacity with retention over 100% even after long-term cycling, which is attributed to the novel robust characteristic of the HCNBs as revealed by the ex situ TEM analysis. The flexible hollow HCNBs with high graphitic crystallization not only efficiently tolerate the volume changes of the Li-Sn alloying-dealloying but also facilitate the electrolyte/charge transfer owing to the hollow structure and high conductivity of the HCNBs.

Abstract
Hollow structures and doping of rutile TiO2 are generally believed to be effective ways to enhance the performance of lithium-ion batteries. Herein, uniformly distributed Sn-doped rutile TiO2 hollow nanocrystals have been synthesized by a simple template-free hydrothermal method. A topotactic transformation mechanism of solid TiOF2 precursor is proposed to illustrate the formation of rutile TiO2 hollow nanocrystals. Then, the Sn-doped rutile TiO2 hollow nanocrystals are calcined and tested as anode in the lithium-ion battery. They deliver a highly reversible specific capacity of 251.3 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and retain ∼110 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles at a high current rate 5 A g-1 (30 C), which is much higher than most of the reported work.

Abstract
Much attention has been paid on doping TiO2 to narrow its band gap to promote the absorption of visible light and restrain the recombination of electron-hole pairs to improve its efficiency in photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) under visible-light irradiation. However, the oxidation potential energy of photo-induced holes for the modified catalysts by visible-light excitation is lower than that without modification by UV excitation. In this work, we synthesized a co-coupled TiO2 electrode (denoted ERT) with the Er3+ :YAlO3 and reduced graphene oxide (RGO), achieving the synergetic effect of visible-light-to-UV up-conversion and response and great electron transfer ability. The effects of external bias voltage, electrolyte concentration and pH on the PEC activity were studied with the methylene blue (MB) as the target pollutant. The results indicated that PEC by the ERT electrode showed the highest MB removal compared with those by the electrodes coupled with RGO or Er3+ :YAlO3 alone. In addition, the kinetic rate constant of the PEC process using the ERT electrode was higher than the sum of those of the photocatalytic and electrocatalytic processes. The optimal conditions for PEC by the ERT electrode were an external bias voltage of 1.0 V, 0.1 mol L-1 Na2 SO4 and pH = 10.

Abstract
The design of tin-based anode materials (SnO2 or Sn) has become a major concern for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) owing to their different inherent characteristics. Herein, particulate SnO2 or Sn crystals coupled with porous N-doped carbon nanofibers (denoted as SnO2/PCNFs and Sn/PCNFs, respectively) are fabricated via the electrospinning method. The electrochemical behaviors of both SnO2/PCNFs and Sn/PCNFs are systematically investigated as anodes for LIBs. When coupled with porous carbon nanofibers, both SnO2 nanoparticles and Sn micro/nanoparticles display superior cycling and rate performances. SnO2/PCNFs and Sn/PCNFs deliver discharge capacities of 998 and 710 mA h g(-1) after 140 cycles (at 100, 200, 500 and 1000 mA g(-1) each for 10 cycles and then 100 cycles at 100 mA g(-1)), respectively. However, the Sn/PCNF electrodes show better cycling stability at higher current densities, delivering higher discharge capacities of 700 and 550 mA h g(-1) than that of SnO2/PCNFs (685 and 424 mA h g(-1)) after 160 cycles at 200 and 500 mA g(-1), respectively. The different superior electrochemical performance is attributed to the introduction of porous N-doped carbon nanofibers and their self-constructed networks, which, on the one hand, greatly decrease the charge-transfer resistance due to the high conductivity of N-doped carbon fibers; on the other hand, the porous carbon nanofibers with numerous voids and flexible one-dimensional (1D) structures efficiently alleviate the volume changes of SnO2 and Sn during the Li-Sn alloying-dealloying processes. Moreover, the discussion of the electrochemical behaviors of SnO2vs. Sn would provide new insights into the design of tin-based anode materials for practical applications, and the current strategy demonstrates great potential in the rational design of metallic tin-based anode materials.

Abstract
SnO(x) (x = 0, 1, 2) and TiO(2) are widely considered to be potential anode candidates for next generation lithium ion batteries. In terms of the lithium storage mechanisms, TiO(2) anodes operate on the base of the Li ion intercalation-deintercalation, and they typically display long cycling life and high rate capability, arising from the negligible cell volume change during the discharge-charge process, while their performance is limited by low specific capacity and low electronic conductivity. SnO(x) anodes rely on the alloying-dealloying reaction with Li ions, and typically exhibit large specific capacity but poor cycling performance, originating from the extremely large volume change and thus the resultant pulverization problems. Making use of their advantages and minimizing the disadvantages, numerous strategies have been developed in the recent years to design composite nanostructured Sn-Ti-O ternary systems. This Review aims to provide rational understanding on their design and the improvement of electrochemical properties of such systems, including SnO(x) -TiO(2) nanocomposites mixing at nanoscale and nanostructured Sn(x) Ti(1-x) O(2) solid solutions doped at the atomic level, as well as their combinations with carbon-based nanomaterials.

Abstract
We designed a facile infiltration route to synthesize mesoporous hollow structured Mo doped SnO2 using silica spheres as templates. It is observed that Mo is uniformly incorporated into SnO2 lattice in the form of Mo(6+). The as-prepared mesoporous Mo-doped SnO2 LIBs anodes exhibit a significantly improved electrochemical performance with good cycling stability, high specific capacity and high rate capability. The mesoporous hollow Mo-doped SnO2 sample with 14 at% Mo doping content displays a specific capacity of 801 mA h g(-1) after 60 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g(-1), about 1.66 times higher than that of the pure SnO2 hollow sample. In addition, even if the current density is as high as 1600 mA g(-1) after 60 cycles, it could still retain a stable specific capacity of 530 mA h g(-1), exhibiting an extraordinary rate capability. The greatly improved electrochemical performance of the Mo-doped mesoporous hollow SnO2 sample could be attributed to the following factors. The large surface area and hollow structure can significantly enhance structural integrity by acting as mechanical buffer, effectively alleviating the volume changes generated during the lithiation/delithiation process. The incorporation of Mo into the lattice of SnO2 improves charge transfer kinetics and results in a faster Li(+) diffusion rate during the charge-discharge process.

Abstract
Direct hydrothermal growth of Sn(II)-doped SnO2 films on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates results in the formation of upstanding SnO2 nanosheet arrays covered by hierarchical SnO2 nanoflowers. The n-type semiconductor films show extended photoresponse in the visible spectrum arising from the coexistence of Sn(II) dopant ions and oxygen vacancies in these hierarchical SnO2 nanostructures, which leads to a narrowed bandgap. Photoluminescence spectroscopy revealed that the emission in the UV, blue and red spectral ranges is related to the evolution of Sn(II) dopants and oxygen vacancies with annealing temperature, whereas oxygen vacancies are mostly responsible for visible emission. The Sn(II)-doped SnO2 films show higher photocurrent when sensitized with narrow bandgap CdS nanoparticles, serving as efficient electron acceptors.
