Fabrication and application of hierarchical mesoporous MoO2/Mo2C/C microspheres

摘要

cqvip:Hierarchical mesoporous MoO_2/Mo_2C/C microspheres,which are composed of primary nanoparticles with a size of about 30 nm,have been designed and synthesized through polymer regulation and subsequent carbonization processes.The as-synthesized microspheres were characterized by XRD,Raman,SEM,TEM,XPS measurements and so on.It was found that polyethylene glycol acted as a structure-directing agent,mild reducing agent and carbon source in the formation of these hierarchical mesoporous Mo O_2/Mo_2C/C microspheres.Moreover,the electrochemical property of the microspheres was also investigated in this work.Evaluated as an anode material for lithium ion batteries,the hierarchical mesoporous Mo O_2/Mo_2C/C electrode delivered the discharge specific capacities of 665 and 588 m Ah/g after 100 cycles at current densities of 100 and 200 m A/g,respectively.The satisfactory cycling performance and controllable process facilitate the practical applications of the hierarchical mesoporous Mo O_2/Mo_2C/C as a potential anode material in high-energy density lithium-ion batteries.
