In this paper, hierarchical Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 microspheres were successfully synthesized in a large scale via a facile hydrothermal route. X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the obtained Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 microspheres and the results indicate that the monodispersed Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 microspheres with ca. 2 μm in diameter was assembled by well-crystalline nanoparticles. Electrochemical analysis indicated that the Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 microspheres have superior rate capability and cycling performance. At the charge–discharge rate of 0.2, 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 C, the discharge capacities of Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 microspheres are 169.2, 163.5, 158.3, 136.4, 117.6 and 94.3 mAh g−1, respectively. Excellent capacity retention of 98.7% was achieved after 100 cycles at 1 C rate and it can still maintained 91% even at high rate of 10 C.

Good electronic conductivity and mechanical properties are obtained by introducing CNTs into an ANSO@CNTs anode material. The anode possesses a super cycling performance and a high rate capability because the porous structure facilitates liquid electrolyte diffusion into active materials.

Core-shell composite material LiNi[Formula: see text]Co[Formula: see text]Al[Formula: see text]O2/LiMn[Formula: see text]Ni[Formula: see text]Co[Formula: see text]O2 (NCA/NCM) was synthesized via a coprecipitation and spray pyrolysis process. The properties of pristine LiNi[Formula: see text]Co[Formula: see text]Al[Formula: see text]O2 (NCA) and Core-shell NCA/NCM were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Galvanostatic cell cycling and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Results showed that the Core-shell NCA/NCM exhibited enhanced rate capability and cycling performance than the pristine NCA. The improved electrochemical performance is due to the fact that the NCM layer can stabilize the crystal structure of materials and suppress the deterioration of lithium ion diffusing ability during electrode process.

A nanostructured ZnTe–TiO2–C composite is synthesized, via a two-step high-energy mechanical milling process, for use as a new promising anode material in Li-ion batteries (LIBs). X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results confirm the successful formation of ZnTe alloy and rutile TiO2 phases in the composites using ZnO, Te, Ti, and C as the starting materials. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping measurements further reveal that ZnTe and TiO2 nanocrystals are uniformly dispersed in an amorphous carbon matrix. The electrochemical performances of ZnTe–TiO2–C and other control samples were investigated. Compared to ZnTe–TiO2 and ZnTe-C composites, the ZnTe– TiO2–C nanocomposite exhibits better performance, thereby delivering a high reversible capacity of 561 mAh g−1 over 100 cycles and high rate capability at a high current density of 5 A g−1 (79% capacity retention of its capacity at 0.1 A g−1). Furthermore, the long-term cyclic performance of ZnTe–TiO2–C at a current density of 0.5 A g−1 shows excellent reversible capacity of 528 mAh g−1 after 600 cycles. This improvement can be attributed to the presence of a TiO2-C hybrid matrix, which acts as a buffering matrix that effectively mitigates the large volume changes of active ZnTe during repeated cycling. Overall, the ZnTe–TiO2–C nanocomposite is a potential candidate for high-performance anode materials in LIBs.

In this work, we prepared the sandwich-like carbon@SnO2@carbon hollow spheres by templating against polystyrene spheres. The hollow spheres are characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD). The electrochemical performance as the anodes of lithium-ions batteries are studied by the cyclic voltammogram (CV) and galvanostatic discharge-charge voltage tests. Because of the interesting structure, the as prepared carbon@SnO2@carbon hollow spheres deliver a reversible capacity of 492 mA h g-1after 50 cycles at a high current density of 400 mA g-1.
