Abstract

A facile and effective method has been developed for synthesis of Co₃O₄/carbon nanotube film (Co₃O₄@CNTs) composites as anode materials in LIBs. With 5-sulfosalicylic acid and glutaric acid as chelation and oxidation reagents, the CoSO₄ can be directly oxidized into nanoscale Co₃O₄ under hydrothermal conditions. Co₃O₄/carbon nanotube film (Co₃O₄@CNTs) composites can be easily synthesized and the Co₃O₄ particles are tightly attached to carbon nanotubes via the same process. The electrochemical test results show that the composites film has higher discharge specific capacity and excellent rate performance. At 0.2C rate the initial discharge specific capacity can be up to 1712.5 mAh·g^-1, the discharge specific capacity is still about 1128.9 mAh·g^-1 after 100 cycles. At 1C rate the discharge specific capacity of 527.8 mAh·g^-1 is still maintained after 100 cycles. The excellent performance is due to the synergistic combination of Co₃O₄ and CNTs. The highly dispersed Co₃O₄ expands the contact area between the active material and the electrolyte, and CNTs can form the conductive network to increase the electron conductivity, thus improve the cycle performance of Co₃O₄ anode materials.

Key words: composite anode material hydrothermal Co₃O₄ carbon nanotube film
