Abstract

Metal oxides have been widely employed in various electrochemical energy storage and conversion applications including Li-ion batteries, supercapacitors and fuel cells [1, 2]. Designing the microstructure of metal oxide nanomaterials is important for advanced energy storage and conversion devices due to the pronounced size/shape effect on the reaction pathway and durability.
