Transition metal oxide is one of the most promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Generally, the electrochemical property of transition metal oxides can be improved by optimizing their element components and controlling their nano-architecture. Herein, we designed nonstoichiometric Cu0.6Ni0.4Co2O4 nanowires for high performance lithium-ion storage. It is found that the specific capacity of Cu0.6Ni0.4Co2O4 nanowires remain 880 mAh g−1 after 50 cycles, exhibiting much better electrochemical performance than CuCo2O4 and NiCo2O4. After experiencing a large current charge and discharge state, the discharge capacity of Cu0.6Ni0.4Co2O4 nanowires recovers to 780 mAh g−1 at 50 mA g−1, which is ca. 88% of the initial capacity. The high electrochemical performance of Cu0.6Ni0.4Co2O4 nanowires is related to their better electronic conductivity and synergistic effect of metals. This work may provide a new strategy for the design of multicomponent transition metal oxides as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Phosphorization of metal oxides/hydoxides to promote electronic conductivity as a promising strategy has attracted enormous attention for improving the electrochemical properties of anode material in lithium ion batteries. For this article, selective phosphorization from NiCo2O4 to NiO/Ni2Co4P3 microspheres was realized as an efficient route to enhance the electrochemical lithium storage properties of bimetal Ni-Co based anode materials. The results show that varying phosphorizaed reagent amount can significantly affect the transformation of crystalline structure from NiCo2O4 to intermediate NiO, hybrid NiO/Ni2Co4P3, and, finally, to Ni2Co4P3, during which alterated sphere morphology, shifted surface valance, and enhanced lithium-ion storage behavior are detected. The optimized phosphorization with 1:3 reagent mass ratio can maintain the spherical architecture, hold hybrid crystal structure, and improve the reversibly electrochemical lithium-ion storage properties. A specific capacity of 415 mAh g−1 is achieved at 100 mA g−1 specific current and maintains at 106 mAh g−1 when the specific current increases to 5000 mA g−1. Even after 200 cycles at 500 mA g−1, the optimized electrode still delivers 224 mAh g−1 of specific capacity, exhibiting desirable cycling stability. We believe that understanding of such selective phosphorization can further evoke a particular research enthusiasm for anode materials in lithium ion battery with high performances.

Abstract Bi2MoO6 is a potentially promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) on account of its high theoretical capacity coupled with low desertion potential. Due to low conductivity and large volume expansion/contraction during charge/discharge cycling of Bi2MoO6, effective modification is indispensable to address these issues. In this study, a plate-to-layer Bi2MoO6/Ti3C2Tx (MXene) heterostructure is proposed by electrostatic assembling positive-charged Bi2MoO6 nanoplates on negative-charged MXene nanosheets. MXene nanosheets in the heterostructure act as a highly conductive substrate to load and anchor the Bi2MoO6 nanoplates, so as to improve electronic conductivity and structural stability. When the mass ratio of MXene is optimized to 30%, the Bi2MoO6/MXene heterostructure exhibits high specific capacities of 692 mAh g−1 at 100 mA g−1 after 200 cycles and 545.1 mAh g−1 with 99.6% coulombic efficiency at 1 A g−1 after 1000 cycles. The results provide not only a high-performance lithium storage material, but also an effective strategy that could address the intrinsic issues of various transition metal oxides by anchoring them on MXene nanosheets to form heterostructures and use as anode materials for LIBs.
