Shell spinel LiNi[Formula: see text]Mn[Formula: see text]O4 hollow microspheres were successfully synthesized by MnCO3 template, and characterized by XRD, SEM, and TEM. The results show that the hollow LiNi[Formula: see text]Mn[Formula: see text]O4 cathode has good cycle stability to reach 124.5, 119.8, and 96.6[Formula: see text]mAh/g at 0.5, 1, and 5 C, the corresponding retention rate of 98.1%, 98.2%, and 98.0% after 50 cycles at 20[Formula: see text]C, and the reversible capacity of 94.6[Formula: see text]mAh/g can be obtained at 1 C rate at 55[Formula: see text]C, 83.3% retention after 100 cycles. As the temperature decreases from 10[Formula: see text]C to [Formula: see text]C, the resistance of [Formula: see text] increases from 5.5 [Formula: see text] to 135 [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] from 27 [Formula: see text] to 353.2 [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] from 12.7 [Formula: see text] to 73.0 [Formula: see text]. Moreover, the B constant and [Formula: see text] activation energy are 4480[Formula: see text]K and 37.22[Formula: see text]KJ/mol for the NTC spinel material, respectively.

Graphene-based nanocomposites attract many attentions because of holding promise for many applications. In this work, multishelled NiO hollow spheres decorated by graphene nanosheets nanocomposite are successfully fabricated. The multishelled NiO microspheres are uniformly distributed on the surface of graphene, which is helpful for preventing aggregation of as-reduced graphene sheets. Furthermore, the NiO/graphene nanocomposite shows much higher electrochemical performance with a reversible capacity of 261.5 mAh g−1at a current density of 200 mA g−1after 100 cycles tripled compared with that of pristine multishelled NiO hollow spheres, implying the potential application in modern science and technology.

Recently, composites of MXenes and two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides have emerged as promising materials for energy storage applications. In this study, W2C/WS2 alloy nanoflowers (NFs) were prepared by a facile hydrothermal method. The alloy NFs showed a particle size of 200 nm–1 μm, which could be controlled. The electrochemical performance of the as-prepared alloy NFs was investigated to evaluate their potential for application as lithium-ion battery (LIB) anodes. The incorporation of W2C in the WS2 NFs improved their electronic properties. Among them, the W2C/WS2_4h NF electrode showed the best electrochemical performance with an initial discharge capacity of 1040 mAh g−1 and excellent cyclability corresponding to a reversible capacity of 500 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles compared to that of the pure WS2 NF electrode. Therefore, the incorporation of W2C is a promising approach to improve the performance of LIB anode materials.
