AB - In this study, the problem of volume expansion and agglomeration of  SnO2-based electrode materials has been solved with a unique and multifaced  approach. Nanosized SnO2 is coated around CNT with a void and this  structure is decorated between graphene sheets. The problem of aggregation  and volume expansion has been solved with nanostructure and voided  structure. Besides, conductivity and buffering contributions have been  provided by the production composite with graphene and CNT. Herein graphene  layers were decorated SnO2 nanotube with CNT core structure (SnO2@void@CNT)  and used as an anode for Li-ion battery. The electrodes were produced by  vacuum filtration technique as flexible and free-standing with no any  binder. To compare, pure SnO2 and SnO2 decorated graphene/CNT skeleton  anodes were prepared and characterized. The SnO2@void@CNT/graphene anode  exhibited excellent cycling performance and rate capability properties.
