The three-dimensional (3D) graphene networks have been prepared by annealing the mixture of graphene oxide and SiO 2 nanoparticles and then etching SiO 2. The obtained material was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscopy, which revealed that 3D networks consisting of crumpled graphene nanosheets were preserved after the removal of SiO 2. When used as anode material of lithium ion batteries, the graphene networks showed a reversible capacity of 610.9 mAh/g at a current density of 50 mA/g after 50 cycles and excellent rate capability of 291.5 mAh/g at a current density of 5000 mA/g. The good electrochemical performance can be attributed to the network structure, which enables graphene to electrochemically absorb more lithium ions and significantly improve the electrical conductivity of electrode. The graphene networks have the potential applications in ultracapacitor and catalyst supports.

Silicon/carbon (Si/C) composite has been proven to be an effective method of enhancing the electrochemical performance of Si-based anodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the practical application of Si/C materials in LIBs is difficult because of the weak interaction between Si and C. In this study, we applied two-step diazotization reactions to modify graphite nanosheets (GNs) and Si nanoparticles (Si NPs), yielding a stable Si–Ar–GNs composite. Owing to aryl (Ar) group bonding, Si NPs were dispersed well on the GNs. The as-prepared Si–Ar–GNs composite delivered an initial reversible capacity of 1174.7 mAh·g−1 at a current density of 100 mAh·g−1. Moreover, capacity remained at 727.3 mAh·g−1 after 100 cycles, showing improved cycling performance. This synthesis strategy can be extended to prepare other Si/C anode materials of LIBs.

Ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate ((NH4)6Mo7O24) (AMT) is commonly used as the precursor to synthesize Mo-based oxides or sulfides for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). However, the electrochemical lithium storage ability of AMT itself is unclear so far. In the present work, AMT is directly examined as a promising anode material for Li-ion batteries with good capacity and cycling stability. To further improve the electrochemical performance of AMT, AMT/polydopamine (PDA) composite was simply synthesized via recrystallization and freeze drying methods. Unlike with block shape for AMT, the as-prepared AMT/PDA composite shows flake morphology. The initial discharge capacity of AMT/PDA is reached up to 1471 mAh g−1. It delivers a reversible discharge capacity of 702 mAh g−1 at a current density of 300 mA g−1, and a stable reversible capacity of 383.6 mA h g−1 is retained at a current density of 0.5 A g−1 after 400 cycles. Moreover, the lithium storage mechanism is fully investigated. The results of this work could potentially expand the application of AMT and Mo-based anode for LIBs.

Hierarchical CoO nano/microstructures are synthesized via a hydrothermal method and a subsequent annealed process. When evaluated for use in lithium-ion batteries, hierarchical CoO nano/microstructures show a high initial discharge capacity of 1370 mAh/g and a high reversible capacity of 1148 mAh/g over 20 cycles at a current density of 100 mA/g. Superior rate performance with coulombic efficiency of about 100% upon galvanostatic cycling is also revealed. The excellent electrochemical properties of hierarchical CoO nano/microstructures make it a promising alternative anode material for high power lithium-ion batteries applications.

Co3O4 nanocrystals have been synthesized via an ordinary one-step calcination of a cobalt-based 2D coordination polymer [Co(tfbdc)(4,4[Formula: see text]-bpy)(H2O)2]. As an anode material for lithium-ion batteries, the obtained Co3O4 nanocrystals exhibit high reversible capacity, excellent cyclic stability and better rate capability. The reversible capacity of the Co3O4 nanocrystals maintains 713[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text]h[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] after 50 cycles at a current density of 50[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text]. Our results confirm that searching for metal oxides nanomaterials used as anode materials of lithium ion batteries via the calcinations of 2D coordination polymer is a new route.

Nitrogen-doped graphene (N-rGO) was synthesized in the process of preparation of reduced graphene oxide from the expanded graphite through the improved Hummers’ method. The morphology, structure and composition of nitrogen-doped graphene oxide (GO) and N-rGO were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The nitrogen content of N-rGO was approximately 5 at.%. The electrochemical performances of N-rGO as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries were evaluated in coin-type cells versus metallic lithium. Results showed that the obtained N-rGO exhibited a higher reversible specific capacity of 519 mAh g-1 at a current density of 100 mA⋅g-1 and 207.5 mAh⋅g-1 at a current density of 2000 mA⋅g-1. The excellent cycling stability and high-rate capability of N-rGO as anodes of lithium-ion battery were attributed to the large number of surface defects caused by the nitrogen doping, which facilitates the fast transport of Li-ion and electron on the interface of electrolyte/electrode.

The electrochemical property of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) as anode materials for lithium ion batteries was studied using two-electrode Li-ion cell. The first reversible capacity of MoS2 treated by using ball milling and doped graphite was 617mAhg-1 and 506mAhg-1 respectively. But the reversible capacity of pristine MoS2 was 661mAhg-1. The results indicated that the processes of ball milling and doped graphite of MoS2 can not widely enhance the reversible capacity.

Metall oxides have been proven to be potential candidates for the anode material of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because they offer high theoretical capacities, and are environmentally friendly and widely available. However, the low electronic conductivity and severe irreversible lithium storage have hindered a practical application. Herein, we employed ethanolamine as precursor to prepare Fe2O3/COOH-MWCNT composites through a simple hydrothermal synthesis. When these composites were used as electrode material in lithium-ion batteries, a reversible capacity of 711.2 mAh·g−1 at a current density of 500 mA·g−1 after 400 cycles was obtained. The result indicated that Fe2O3/COOH-MWCNT composite is a potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries.
