Hollow　nanostructures　have　attracted　considerable　attention　owing　to　their　large　surface　area,　tunable　cavity,　and　low　density.　In　this　study,　a　unique　flower-like　C@SnOX@C　hollow　nanostructure　(denoted　as　C@SnOX@C-1)　was　synthesized　through　a　novel　one-pot　approach.　The　C@SnOX@C-1　had　a　hollow　carbon　core　and　interlaced　petals　on　the　shell.　Each　petal　was　a　SnO2　nanosheet　coated　with　an　ultrathin　carbon　layer　similar　to　2　nm　thick.　The　generation　of　the　hollow　carbon　core,　the　growth　of　the　SnO2　nanosheets,　and　the　coating　of　the　carbon　layers　were　simultaneously　completed　via　a　hydrothermal　process　using　resorcinol-formaldehyde　resin-coated　SiO2　nanospheres,　tin　chloride,　urea,　and　glucose　as　precursors.　The　resultant　architecture　with　a　large　surface　area　exhibited　excellent　lithium-storage　performance,　delivering　a　high　reversible　capacity　of　756.9　mA.h.g(-1)　at　a　current　density　of　100　mA.g(-1)　after　100　cycles.
