The mechanical properties of individual core-shell-structured SnO_2@C nanofibers were investigated by atomic force microscopy and the finite element method. The elastic moduli of the carbon-coated SnO_2 nanofibers remarkably increased, suggesting that coating SnO_2 nanofibers with carbon could be an effective method of improving their mechanical properties.展开更多
