Carbon Nano-Onions Embedded CuO Nanosheets: Ah Excellent Stable Anode Material for Lithium Ion Battery

摘要

Carbon nano-onions embedded CuO nanosheets was synthesized by hydrothermal method and this report reports the application of carbon nano-onions embedded CuO nanosheets in lithium ion battery anode materials.The introduction of carbon nano-onions leads to improved electrochemical performance.When applied to potential anode materials for lithium-ion batteries,the novel carbon nano-onions embedded CuO nanosheets deliver reversible discharge capacity of 709.7 mAh g_1 at 0.1 A g_1 and specific capacity of 167 mAh g_1 at 5 A g~',much higher than those of the pure CuO nanosheets with same preparation conditions.In this paper,we demonstrate that the compositing of carbon nano-onions embedded CuO nanosheets is able to improve the performance significantly.
