Abstract

An advanced binder-free electrode of hierarchical porous ZnCo2O4@NiO/nickel foam (NF) was designed and synthesized by using 3D porous ZnCo2O4 cubes anchored on ordered porous NiO nanosheets in situ grown on NF. The ZnCo2O4@NiO/NF not only can effectively improve the binder force of ZnCo2O4 on NF to decrease contact resistance and dusting but also can alleviate volume change of ZnCo2O4 matrix in the cycles. The advanced ZnCo2O4@NiO/NF as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries delivered remarkable cycling ability of 730.5 mAh g−1 at 800 mA g−1 after 200 cycles and superb rate performance of 762.4 mAh g−1 at 1600 mA g−1. The excellent electrochemical performance of ZnCo2O4@NiO/NF electrode demonstrates its great potential for use in Li-ion batteries.
