Uniform Sn/C hybrid core/shell nanocomposites were synthesized by a combination of electrospinning and subsequent thermal treatment in a reducing atmosphere. The particular three-dimensional architecture, consisting of a Sn@C nanoparticle core and porous hollow carbon nanofiber shell, is...

Novel MnOx@Carbon hybrid nanowires were successfully synthesized by the combination of a hydrothermal process and a simple PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone) – solution-soaking method followed by a subsequent carbonization treatment. The nanostructures exhibit the unique feature of having...
