The ZnO@ZnS nanorod is synthesized by solvothermal method as an anode material for lithium ion batteries. ZnS is deposited on ZnO and assembles in nanorod geometry successfully. The nanosized rod structure supports ion diffusion by substantially reducing the ion channel. The close-linking of ZnS and ZnO improves the synergetic effect. ZnS is in the middle of the ZnO core and the external environment, which would greatly relieve the volume change of the ZnO core during the Li+ intercalation/de-intercalation processes; therefore, the ZnO@ZnS nanorod is helpful in maintaining excellent cycle stability. The ZnO@ZnS nanorod shows a high discharge capacity of 513.4 mAh g−1 at a current density of 200 mA g−1 after 100 cycles, while a reversible capacity of 385.6 mAh g−1 is achieved at 1000 mA g−1.

Abstract To overcome the deficiency of the volume expansion of MoS2 as the anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), an effective strategy was developed to design hierarchical porous MoS2/carbon nanospheres via a facile, easy-operated hydrothermal method followed by annealing. FESEM and TEM images clearly showed that nanospheres are composed of ultra-thin MoS2/C nanosheets coated with carbon layer and possess an expanded interlayer spacing of 0.98 nm. As anodes for LIBs, MoS2/carbon nanospheres deliver an initial discharge capacity of 1307.77 mAh g−1 at a current density of 0.1 A g−1. Moreover, a reversible capacity of 612 mAh g−1 was obtained even at 2 A g−1 and a capacity retention of 439 mAh g−1 after 500 cycles at 1 A g−1. The improved electrochemical performance is ascribed to the hierarchical porous structure as well as the intercalation of carbon into lattice spacing of MoS2, which offers fast channels for ion/electron transport, relieves the influence of volume change and increases electrical conductivity of electrode. Meanwhile, the expanded interlayer spacing of MoS2 in MoS2/C can decrease the ion diffusion resistance and alleviate the volumetric expansion during discharge/charge cycles.

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.

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.
