Carbon nanotube papers were produced from Multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Tin deposition was conducted via RF magnetron sputtering technique on the MWCNT papers to produce tin-MWCNT composite anodes. The effect of different sputtering power on the electrochemical performance of anodes was investigated. Galvanostatic charge/discharge technique was employed to determine the cyclic performance of the anode electrodes. Results showed that improvement on cyclic performance of tin anodes was achieved with novel composite tin-MWCNT composite anode structures. Copyright (C) 2014, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC.
