Abstract

The pristine ZnWO4 and ZnWO4/r-GO nanocomposite synthesized by the facile solvothermal method were tested as anode materials for lithium-ion battery. Ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirms the elemental composition of the pristine ZnWO4 and ZnWO4/r-GO nanocomposite. The ZnWO4/r-GO nanocomposite shows mesoporous nature and exhibits 50.802 m2 g−1 BET specific surface area, which is higher than that of pristine ZnWO4. In addition, the electrochemical property of the pristine ZnWO4 and ZnWO4/r-GO nanocomposite investigated using 2032 half-cell reveals that GO enhances the electrochemical property of the ZnWO4. The ZnWO4/r-GO nanocomposite not only exhibits higher discharge capacity of 1158 mAh g−1 at 100 mA g−1 but also shows longer and stable cycle life at 300 mA g−1 current density. The ZnWO4/r-GO nanocomposite exhibits 80.74% capacity retention even after 500 cycles. The synergetic effect of r-GO and ZnWO4 improves the capacity, columbic efficiency, and stability of the material. The results indicate that ZnWO4/r-GO nanocomposite is an interesting anode material for Li-ion battery with higher capacity complemented with stability compared to pristine ZnWO4.
