Abstract
A novel battery hybrid composite anode consisting of tin nanoparticles encapsulated by double nets of carbon matrixes is presented. The improved electron transfer and volume change accommodation are confirmed via density functional theory modeling and in situ transmission electron microscopy observations, respectively.
