Sodium has similar electrochemical properties compare to lithium besides its abundancy on earth. Sodium-ion batteries are promising cost-effective alternatives to lithium-ion batteries for large scale applications where weight and energy density are of minor importance However, poor cycling stability and lower energy density of current sodium-ion batteries hinder their practical applications. Due to its excellent sodium ion storing capacity, tin dioxide (SnO₂) emerged as a good candidate as anode material for sodium-ion batteries. However, large volume expansion upon cycling and subsequent pulverization of the active material is a great concern. In this study, novel tin dioxide porous nanofibers and nanotubes (SnO₂ PNFs and SnO₂ PNTs) were synthesized by electrospinning and subsequent heat treatment of a mixture containing different amount of mineral oil. Results indicated that low-porosity nanofibers led to higher capacity and improved cycling stability when compared to high-porosity nanotubes. Electrochemical performance studies indicated that porous nature of SnO₂ PNFs and SnO2 PNTs anodes enabled to achieve good electrochemical performance, including relatively high capacity (311.8 mAhg^-1 and 225 mAhg^-1), large Coulombic efficiency (93.1% and 83.62%) and good capacity retention (79.2% and 79.47%) after 25^th cycle, respectively.
