Résumé

Monodisperse SnSb alloy nanoparticles were prepared by reduction of SnCl2 and SbCl5 using t-BuONa activated NaH. The morphology and the structure of the nano-alloy were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected-area electron diffraction (SAED), Xray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that very small rhombohedral nanoparticles with an average diameter of 4.7 +/- 0.1 nm were produced. This route provides a promising candidate for studying capacities of nanosized SnSb alloys in. electrochemical energy storage devices. (C) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
