ABSTRACTAn efficient microwave-assisted polyol (MP) approach is report to prepare SnO2/graphene hybrid as an anode material for lithium ion batteries. The key factor to this MP method is to start with uniform graphene oxide (GO) suspension, in which a large amount of surface oxygenate groups ensures homogeneous distribution of the SnO2 nanoparticles onto the GO sheets under the microwave irradiation. The period for the microwave heating only takes 10 min. The obtained SnO2/graphene hybrid anode possesses a reversible capacity of 967 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C and a high Coulombic efficiency of 80.5% at the first cycle. The cycling performance and the rate capability of the hybrid anode are enhanced in comparison with that of the bare graphene anode. This improvement of electrochemical performance can be attributed to the formation of a 3-dimensional framework. Accordingly, this study provides an economical MP route for the fabrication of SnO2/graphene hybrid as an anode material for high-performance Li-ion batteries.

In this work, we developed a simple one-step hydrothermal method to successfully prepare Fe3O4/FeS-reduced graphene oxide (Fe3O4/FeS/rGO) composite directly, which is a novel Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) anode material. The characterization of Fe3O4/FeS/rGO composite demonstrates that octahedral Fe3O4/FeS particles are uniformly deposited on the rGO, leading to a strong synergy between them. The excellent structural design can make Fe3O4/FeS/rGO composite to have higher reversible capacity (744.7[Formula: see text]mAh/g at 0.1[Formula: see text]C after 50 cycles), excellent cycling performance and superior rate capability. This outstanding electrochemical behavior can be attributed to the conductivity network of rGO, which improves the composite electrode conductivity, facilitates the diffusion and transfer of ions and prevents the aggregation and pulverization of Fe3O4/FeS particles during the charging and discharging processes. Moreover, the Fe3O4/FeS/rGO electrode surface is covered with a thin solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) film and the octahedral structure of Fe3O4/FeS particles is still clearly visible, which indicates that composite electrode has excellent interface stability. We believe that the design of this composite structure will provide a new perspective for the further study of other transition metal oxides for LIBs.

To enhance the electrochemical performance of nickel oxide as anode materials for lithium ion batteries, NiO/carbon aerogel microspheres with a plum-pudding structure were designed and prepared by a sol-gel technique followed by two calcination processes under different atmospheres. Carbon aerogel microspheres (pudding) can act as a buffering and conductive matrix to enhance the structural stability and conductivity of the embedded NiO particles (plums), which are quite advantageous to the cycling performance and rate capability. Consequently, NiO/carbon aerogel microspheres with a plum-pudding structure deliver an initial charge capacity of 808 mAh g−1 and a reversible capacity retention of 85% after 100 cycles. The enhancement in electrochemical performance relative to pure NiO microspheres suggests that the design of a plum-pudding structure is quite effective.

Molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) microplates are synthesized via the hydrothermal method and a simple heat treatment process without adding surfactant. Different hydrothermal reaction times and acidities are employed to explore the influence of preparation condition on the electrochemical performance for MoO3 microplates. These studies reveal that the hydrothermal time and acidity have a great impact on the morphology of MoO3 microplates. As anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the sheets-assembled MoO3 microplates with longer hydrothermal reaction time and proper acidity possess a superior morphology, which show better cycling performance and rate capability stability. The prepared MoO3 microplates display that the coulombic efficiency is around 100% during 50 cycles, demonstrating much better lithium storage properties. Considering the excellent electrochemical performance, the MoO3 microplates are considered to be a potential candidate in high-performance LIBs.

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.
