Abstract
The ingenious design of high-performance tin-based lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is challenging due to their poor conductivity and drastic volume change during continuous lithiation/delithiation cycles. Herein, we present a strategy to confine heterostructured SnSe2-SnO2 nanoparticles into macroscopic nitrogen-doped carbon microbelts (SnSe2-SnO2@NC) as anode materials for LIBs. The composites exhibit an excellent specific capacity of 436.3 mA h g-1 even at 20 A g-1 and an ultrastable specific capacity of 632.7 mA h g-1 after 2800 cycles at 5 A g-1. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations reveal that metallic SnSe2-SnO2 heterostructures endow the lithium atoms at the interface with high adsorption energy, which promotes the anchoring of Li atoms, and enhances the electrical conductivity of the anode materials. This demonstrates the superior Li+ storage performance of the SnSe2-SnO2@NC microbelts as anode materials.

Abstract
In the present paper, mesoporous InVO4 /TiO2 nanobelts with diameter about 400 nm have been synthesized by elaborately designed electrospinning process. The microstructures of InVO4 /TiO2 nanobelts are characterized in detail, and their photoelectrocatalytic properties are comprehensively investigated by the photocatalytic degradation tests with tetracycline (TTC) and rhodamine B (RhB) waste water. Furthermore, the energy bandgap and density of states of orthorhombic InVO4 and anatase TiO2 are modeled and analyzed by density functional theory. Compared with single InVO4 nanobelts and TiO2 nanofibers, mesoporous InVO4 /TiO2 nanobelts possess the extraordinary photocatalytic efficiencies and exceptional cycle performances, which may be ascribed to the successful construction of heterostructures between InVO4 and TiO2 and unique one-dimensional belt structures.
