The aggregation morphology of anode materials plays a vital role in achieving high performance lithium-ion batteries. Herein, Co3O4 anode materials with different aggregation morphologies were successfully prepared by modulating the morphology of precursors with different cobalt sources by the mild coprecipitation method. The fabricated Co3O4 can be flower-like, spherical, irregular, and urchin-like. Detailed investigation on the electrochemical performance demonstrated that flower-like Co3O4 consisting of nanorods exhibited superior performance. The reversible capacity maintained 910.7 mAh·g−1 at 500 mA·g−1 and 717 mAh·g−1 at 1000 mA·g−1 after 500 cycles. The cyclic stability was greatly enhanced, with a capacity retention rate of 92.7% at 500 mA·g−1 and 78.27% at 1000 mA·g−1 after 500 cycles. Electrochemical performance in long-term storage and high temperature conditions was still excellent. The unique aggregation morphology of flower-like Co3O4 yielded a reduction of charge-transfer resistance and stabilization of electrode structure compared with other aggregation morphologies.

Well-designed nanostructures are very important for the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion electrode materials. In order to improve the electrochemical performance of ZnO-based anode materials, ZnO/Ni composite film, assembled by ordered hollow microsphere arrays, is designed and fabricated by means of magnetron sputtering technique using a colloidal crystal template composed of a monolayer of ordered polystyrene (PS) microspheres. The ordered hollow microsphere structure as well as the constituent Ni component of the ZnO/Ni film show major advantages of homogenizing electrode reactions, enhancing electrode reaction kinetics and accommodating volume change of active materials, so they can reduce electrode polarization and stabilize electrode structure. Consequently, the resulting ordered ZnO/Ni hollow microspheres arrays deliver an initial charge capacity of 685 mAh g−1, an initial coulombic efficiency of 68%, and a capacity retention rate of 69% after 100 cycles, all of which are higher than those of the pure ZnO film. These results show progress in developing more stable ZnO-based anode materials for lithium ion batteries.

Spinel Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) doped with Mg2+ was synthesized by solid-phase reaction method. The Mg2+ doping quantity was 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12%, respectively. The structure and electrochemical performance of the prepared LTO composites were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), and galvanostatic charge-discharge tests. It was found that the doped Mg ion did not change the structure of Li4Ti5O12, and it was evenly distributed around Li4Ti5O12. When Mg2+ doping quantity increased from 3% to 12%, the internal resistance and charge transfer resistance of the composite both decreased. The first discharge specific capacity of 6%-Mg2+ doped LTO composite was 168 mAh/g, which was close to the theoretical capacity of pure lithium titanate (175 mAh/g), and the capacity retention rate was 98% after 100 cycles.
