Facile general strategy toward hierarchical mesoporous transition metal oxides arrays on three-dimensional macroporous foam with superior lithium storage properties

Metallic VO2 monolayer as an anode material for Li, Na, K, Mg or Ca ion storage: a first-principle study

“…Li-ion battery (LIB) is an attractive power source and has been widely applied in portable electronic devices and electric vehicles. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] However, several issues including cost, safety, and capacity restrict the further development in large scale energy storage applications of LIB. 8,9 Therefore, the development of new types of batteries is urgently needed.…”

One-step synthesis of Li-doped NiO as high-performance anode material for lithium ion batteries

“…Up to now, a variety of appealing strategies have been utilized to overcome these obstacles. On one hand, major research efforts have been made to suppressing the volume change through structure tuning [33,[39][40][41]. For example, Seung et al reported the ultrafast synthesis of yolk-shell NiO nanopowders, and the powders showed good capacities and capacity retention because of their excellent structural stability [39].…”

Synthesis of nanoparticles-assembled Co 3 O 4 microspheres as anodes for Li-ion batteries by spray pyrolysis of CoCl 2 solution

“…Many approaches have been proposed to achieve the improvement in the electrochemical performance of TMOs materials, such as fabrication of diverse nanostructures (such as nanowires [7][8][9], nanotubes [10,11], yolk-shell [12][13][14][15], microdisks [1]), designing TMO-based hybrid/composite materials (for example, amorphous carbon [12], carbon nanotubes [16] and grapheme nanosheets [17]), and modification by coating or doping [18], with the ultimate aim of improving the electrical conductivity, enhancing naked electroactive sites, buffering the volume changes, and preventing interparticle agglomeration [19].…”
