A facile one‐step approach is developed to prepare novel carbon/tin composites with hollow tin nanoparticles coated by amorphous carbon (see picture) through the solid‐state pyrolysis of allyltriphenyltin. The composite exhibited highly reversible Li storage behavior and improved rate performance as an anode material in a Li secondary battery.
