Popis: In this work, the spherical NiO-NiMoO4 composite was synthesized by solvothermal route followed by calcination, and then spherical NiO-NiMoO4/PPy composite was synthesized by in situ polymerization of pyrrole monomer. The NiO-NiMoO4 and NiO-NiMoO4/PPy microspheres with a particle size of around 1–2 μm consist of nanorods and nanosheets. Hence, NiO-NiMoO4/PPy anode shows a higher delithiation and lithiation capacities than NiO-NiMoO4 at each rate. At 0.2 A g−1, NiO-NiMoO4 only shows an initial delithiation capacity of ∼775 mAh g−1, and the capacity only keeps 207 mAh g−1 after 160 cycles. Nonetheless, NiO/NiMoO4/PPy shows an initial delithiation capacity of ~ 884 mAh g−1, and the capacity also maintains ~ 846 mAh g−1 even after 160 cycles. The corresponding capacity retention of NiO/NiMoO4/PPy and NiO/NiMoO4 are 95.7% and 26.7%, respectively. The PPy modification is a direct and effective strategy to improve the reversible capacity and cycling performance of NiO-NiMoO4 composite.
