And fabricate porous structure is an effective way to improve materials¡¯ cycling performance. Here, we developed nanoporous SnSb alloy ribbon (NP-SnSb) through a melt-spinning/chemical-etching process and took it as electrode of LIB directly. Being of self-supported and binder free, the NP-SnSb shows a total outperformance over its nonporous counterparts both in cycling performance and kinetic characteristic. Besides, considering the melt-spinning/chemical-etching synthetic process is high-through-put and simple, the ribbon kind of alloy anodes have strong potential application for LIBs research. %K Lithium-Ion Batteries %K Porous Structure %K SnSb Alloy Electrodes %K Melt-Spinning %K Dealloying %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=89592
