Surfactant-Assisted Growth of a Conversion-Type Binary Metal Oxide-Based Composite Electrode for Boosting the Reversible Lithium Storage.

ABSTRACT: High-performance anode materials play a crucial role in paving the development of next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). NiCo₂O₄, as a typical binary metal oxide, has been extensively demonstrated to possess higher capacity and electrochemical activity compared with a monometal oxide such as NiO or Co₃O₄. However, the advances in the application of LIBs are usually limited by the relatively low electrical conductivity and large volume change during repeated charging/discharging processes. Herein, a NiCo₂O₄@carbon nanotube (CNT) composite electrode with advanced architecture is developed through a facile surfactant-assisted synthetic strategy. The introduced polyvinyl pyrrolidone can greatly facilitate the heterogeneou
