- Even at a much higher current density of 1500 mA g-1, the material retains a significant discharge capacity of 581.3 mA h g-1 after 190 cycles, highlighting its potential as an anode material in lithium-ion batteries.
Article Abstract
In this work, we report a facile route to fabricate a ZnCo2O4 nanosheet derived from metal-organic frameworks. The as-prepared ZnCo2O4 nanosheet material for lithium-ion batteries shows an excellent electrochemical performance. The obtained ZnCo2O4 nanosheet delivers a high reversible capacity of 1640.8 mA h g-1 at a current density of 100 mA g-1 after 50 cycles. More importantly, even at a current density of 1500 mA g-1, the electrode material still exhibits a discharge capacity of 581.3 mA h g-1 after 190 cycles. These results demonstrate that the ZnCo2O4 nanosheet shows great potential as an anode material for lithium ion batteries.

Electrode materials with excellent performance are the basis for designing supercapacitors with outstanding stability and high specific capacitance. In this work, we prepared a type of ZnCoO nanosheet structure with Ag nanoparticles through a multi-step hydrothermal strategy. The as-fabricated composite presented a specific capacity of 2540 F g at 1 A g due to the synergetic effect of its components and structure.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed distinct morphologies for each metal oxide, such as NiCoO nanosheets, Cu CoO nanoleaves, Fe CoO diamond-like, and Zn CoO hexagonal-like structures. The X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the cubic spinel structure for the prepared MCoO films.

The current work describes a facile synthesis of spinel-type ZnCoO along with an additional phase, CoO, by simply maintaining a non-stoichiometric ratio of Zn and Co precursors. Pure ZnCoO and CoO were also synthesized using the same method to compare results. The obtained morphologies of samples show that small-sized nanoparticles are interconnected and form a porous nanosheet-like structure.

Controllable synthesis of electrode materials with desirable morphology and size is of significant importance and challenging for high-performance supercapacitors. Herein, we propose an efficient hydrothermal approach to controllable synthesis of hierarchical porous three-dimensional (3D) ZnCoO composite films directly on Ni foam substrates. The composite films consisted of two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets array anchored with one-dimensional (1D) nanowires.

Transition metal oxides (TMOs) have received significant consideration. Because of their enormous theoretical capacity, cheap, and less toxicity. Notably, cobalt-based materials hold promises as negative electrode materials for batteries, but they suffer from less electrical conductivity and significant volume changes during operation.
