摘      要：A new mesoporous carbon-tin （MC-Sn） nanocomposite has been successfully prepared via a two-step method. From the transmission electron microscopy （TEM） observations, the tin nanoparticles were decorated on the as-prepared mesoporous carbons. The mesoprous structure of the carbon can effectively buffer the volume changes during the Li-Sn alloying and de-alloying cycles. The as-prepared MC/Sn nanocomposite electrodes exhibited extremely good cycling stability, with the specific capacity of Sn in the composite electrode calculated to be 959.7 mAh-g-1, which amounts to an impressive 90.9% of the theoretical value （990 mAh-g-1）. The reversible capacity after 200 cycles is 96.1% of the first cycle reversible capacity, i.e., the capacity fade rate is only 0.0195% per cycle, which is even better than that of commercial graphite-based anodes.
