Abstrakt: [Display omitted] Transition metal oxides are deemed as a promising substitute for graphite anode materials of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) on account of their large specific capacity. Nonetheless, the large volume change in the process of charging and discharging leads to low capacity retention. Herein, a well-designed ZnCo 2 O 4 @coal tar pitch based porous carbon (ZCO-CTP) microsphere is prepared to construct the high-performance anode of LIBs. The coating modification of CTP significantly reduces the polarization and charge transfer resistance and improves the migration ability of ions and electrons, thus achieving a superior reversible capacity and cycling stability of ZCO-CTP anode. The battery with obtained ZCO-CTP5 provides a large charge capacity of 406.17 mAh/g at 1000 mA g−1 compared with pristine ZCO (only 157.78 mAh/g). Even after 1000 cycles at 1000 mA g−1, the battery can achieve a charge/discharge capacity of 598.46/601.17 mAh/g. We believe that the application of CTP will provide a new perspective for the exploitation of high-performance anode materials for LIBs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
