Popis: | In this work, tiny CoFe2O4 nanoparticles with a diameter of several nanometers were firmly grown on carbon nanotube (CNT) through a solvothermal process followed with calcination step. The composite shows a coralline structure, where CoFe2O4 nanoparticles are dispersed finely on the surface of CNT. The coralline CoFe2O4–CNT composite electrode can deliver initial discharge/charge capacities of 1183.6/876.1 mAh g−1 at 100 mA g−1, with a Coulombic efficiency reaching up to 74.0%. The capacity drops first but ascends latter when the electrode is cycled 220 times at 200 mA g−1, giving a value of 747.5 mAh g−1 at 220th discharge process. Besides, the composite displays a capacity of 620.8 mAh g−1 even at a high rate of 1600 mA g−1, larger than commercialized graphite (372 mAh g−1). Thus, coralline CoFe2O4–CNT composite of remarkable electrochemical properties makes it a promising anode for lithium ion batteries. |
