Preparation and electrochemical performances of cubic shape Cu2O as anode material for lithium ion batteries

Potential-pH Diagrams for Oxidation-State Control of Nanoparticles Synthesized via Chemical Reduction

“…The cycle property of Cu 2 O nanoparticles is strongly dependent on the particle size, shape, and structure; there is an optimum condition, displaying the highest electrochemical performance (C.Q. Zhang et al, 2007). In the next section, a general guideline is introduced for the selective synthesis of Cu and Cu 2 O nanoparticles possessing superior properties described above from the same CuO aqueous suspension.…”

Synthesis of mesoporous copper oxide microspheres with different surface areas and their lithium storage properties

“…Bijani et al [30] found that the thinner Cu 2 O film exhibited the good electrochemical performance. Zhang et al [31] demonstrated cubic Cu 2 O particles delivered a higher reversible discharge capacity and better cyclability than the star-shaped Cu 2 O. Fu et al [15] found that a better crystallinity of Cu 2 O materials led to a larger discharge capacity and a smaller particle size results in higher columbic efficiency and larger reversible capacity. The published work demonstrated that the electrochemical performance of Cu 2 O can be improved by optimizing their morphologies [31], crystallinity and particle size [15], and the composition [32,33].…”

Fabrication of highly ordered porous nickel phosphide film and its electrochemical performances toward lithium storage

“…Among the various anode materials such as carbonaceous material, intermetallic compounds, transition metal oxides and phosphides (M-O and M-P, where M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, etc. ), transition metal phosphides attract much attention due to their low polarization and good cycling stability [9][10][11][12][13][14]. However, most metal phosphides have to be obtained at high temperatures or under complex conditions such as hydrothermal synthesis for a long time [15][16][17][18][19][20].…”
