Spray drying induced engineering a hierarchical reduced graphene oxide supported heterogeneous Tin dioxide and Zinc oxide for Lithium-ion storage

VN@C hollow structures derived from ZIF-8 templates for a lithium-ion battery anode

“…Transition metal nitrides (TMNs) have been the focus of attention owing to their remarkable electrochemical properties, corrosion resistance and high-temperature chemical stability. [8][9][10] As a typical TMN, vanadium nitride (VN) justifiably exhibits some predominant properties, [11][12][13][14] such as high electrical conductivity (1.67 × 10 6 Ω −1 m −1 ), wide lithiation potential (0.01-3 V) large theoretical capacity (1238 mA h g −1 ), all of which make it an ideal candidate as an anode material for LIBs. As a result, a large number of research studies have been carried out.…”
