Herein, we report the use of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VA-CNTs) with controlled structure and morphology as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries.
Hybrid nanocomposites constructed from starfish-like ZnxCo1−xS rooted in porous carbon and strongly coupled carbon nanotubes have been rationally designed and they exhibit excellent lithium-storage performance.
Different organic electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries are divided into three types: positive electrode materials, negative electrode materials, and bi-functional electrode materials, and are further discussed.
