Abstract: Some transition metal antimonides were prepared by levitation melting and subsequent ball-milling. The electrochemical behaviors of these materials as new candidate negative electrode materials in lithium ion secondary batteries were investigated. It was found that they exhibited significantly larger volumetric capacity than carbon-based materials. The formation and composition of solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film were characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy.
