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.

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.

Electrochemical properties of defect-introduces graphenes for lithium ion batteries were investigated. Graphene sheets (GSs) were prepared from graphite through treating with oxidizing agent followed by rapid thermal exfoliation. Defect concentration was controlled by selecting the number of times of oxidation of graphite. GSs electrodes derived from 1, 2 and 3 times-oxidized graphite oxides exhibited a high charge capacity of 1250, 1790 and 2310 mAh g1, respectively, at the 20th cycle at a current density of 100 mA g1. The enhanced capacity is assumed to be due to additional lithium storage sites such as defects and edges.

A facile hydrothermal route has been developed to prepare MnO2/graphene nanocomposites and MnO2 nanoparticles are uniformly anchored on graphene nanosheets. The composite were studied as the anode material for lithium-ion batteries. The surface of graphene is modified by MnO2 nanoparticles which are 10-30 nm in size and homogeneously anchor on graphene sheets. The composite exhibits superior lithium battery performance with higher reversible capacity and better cycling performance. The reversible capacity is up to 781.5 mAh g-1 at a current of 100 mA g-1 and maintains 96% after 50 cycles. The enhanced lithium storage performance is due to the synergetic effect of graphene and MnO2.

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.

In this report, the porous Fe3O4/C nanocomposites were successfully synthesized by using ferrocene as raw material and dilute nitric acid as solvent via extremely convenient and low-cost one-step calcining method. The formation of porous structure resulted from the aggregation and assembly of numerous nanoparticles. The experimental results show that the crystallinities, morphologies and electrochemical performance of samples were affected by the calcining temperature and carbon content. As an anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the Fe3O4/C nanocomposites obtained at calcination temperature of 500∘C (Fe3O4/C-a500) exhibited remarkable initial specific discharge capacity of 1418[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text]h g[Formula: see text] and a reversible capacity retention of 721[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text]h[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] after 100 cycles at the current density of 100[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text]. The excellent properties can be attributed to the high theoretical capacity of Fe3O4, the high conductivity of carbon and especially the porous structure, which offered more sites for the storage and insertion of Li ions. Even at the current density of 1000[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text]h[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text], the reversible capacity of Fe3O4/C-a500 can be up to 291[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text]h[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text], indicating the prepared typical nanocomposite presented excellent electrochemical performances and lithium storage capacity, which may be a promising candidate as the anode material for LIBs.

Silicon, an anode material for lithium ion batteries, has the highest theoretical specific capacity ([Formula: see text] mAh/g). The actual lithium storage capacity of [Formula: see text] mAh/g is about 10 times that of the graphite anode materials class. This study involves magnesium heat reduction of the SiO2 preparation of silicon carbon composites. The Si/SiC composite shows a high initial specific capacity of 1406.7 mAh/g with a current density of 0.1 A/g. The morphology and pore size inherited from the SiO2 aerogel counteracts the volume expansion during the lithiation/delithiation process. This paper provides an articulate methodology for designing silicon anode material for high-performance rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

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.
