Synthesize of NiMoO₄/Reduced Graphene Oxide Composite as High Capacity Anode Material for Lithium Ion Batteries

Abstract

NiMoO4/Reduced graphene oxide (NiMoO4/rGO) composites material was prepared by a hydrothermal method. When used as a anode material for lithium-ion batteries, the NiMoO4/rGO composites show superior rate capability and excellent cycling stability. A reversible capacity of approximately 808 mAh g–1 is retained even after 100 cycles at 100 mA g–1. It is believed that the surface modification by graphene nanosheets contribute to the improved kinetics of lithium-ion diffusion, excellent structural stability and superior electrochemical performance.
