Iron oxides are potential electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries because of their high theoretical capacities, low cost, rich resources, and their non-polluting properties. However, iron oxides demonstrate large volume expansion during the lithium intercalation process, resulting in the electrode material being crushed, which always results in poor cycle performance. In this paper, to solve the above problem, iron oxide/carbon nanocomposites with a hollow core–shell structure were designed. Firstly, an Fe2O3@polydopamine nanocomposite was prepared using an Fe2O3 nanocube and dopamine hydrochloride as precursors. Secondly, an Fe3O4@N-doped C composite was obtained by means of further carbonization treatment. Finally, Fe3O4@void@N-Doped C-x composites with core–shell structures with different void sizes were obtained by means of Fe3O4 etching. The effect of the etching time on the void size was studied. The electrochemical properties of the composites when used as lithium-ion battery materials were studied in more detail. The results showed that the sample that was obtained via etching for 5 h using 2 mol L−1 HCl solution at 30 °C demonstrated better electrochemical performance. The discharge capacity of the Fe3O4@void@N-Doped C-5 was able to reach up to 1222 mA g h−1 under 200 mA g−1 after 100 cycles.

Lithium ion batteries have been considered as the most effective and practical technologies for electrochemical energy storage. To meet the demand for lithium ion batteries with high energy density and excellent cycle performance, numerous efforts have been devoted to the development of new electrode materials. Electrochemically active metal oxides have emerged as the most promising candidates for the anode materials in the next generation lithium ion batteries duo to their high theoretical capacities and natural abundance. However, the extremely high volume change induced by the alloying reaction with lithium in the bottleneck for the commercialization of these materials. To overcome these obstacles, carbonaceous materials are commonly introduced as matrices to absorb the volume changes and improve the structural stability of the electrode materials. Hence, the present article describes the synthetic pathway of carbon-coated nanomaterials and applications.

Particle size effects on the electrochemical performance of the CuO particles toward lithium are essential. In this work, a low-cost, large-scale production but simple approach has been developed to fabricate CuO nanoparticles with an average size in ~ 130 nm through thermolysis of Cu ( OH )2 precursors. As anode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), the CuO nanoparticles deliver a high reversible capacity of 540 mAh g-1 over 100 cycles at 0.5 C. It also exhibits a rate capacity of 405 mAh g-1 at 2 C. These results suggest that the facile synthetic method of producing the CuO nanoparticles can enhance cycle performance, superior to that of some different sizes of the CuO nanoparticles and many reported CuO -based anodes.
