Abstract

This paper studies in detail the effect of fuel/oxidant (citric acid/nitrate) ratio on the crystal structure and electrochemical performance of CuFe2O4 prepared by combustion method. The electrochemical tests results show that when the ratio of citric acid to nitrate is 0.6, CuFe2O4 exhibits the best electrochemical performance. After 80 cycles, the discharge specific capacity can still reach 336.2 mAh g−1. In the rate test, after 10 cycles at 2000 mA g−1, the average specific capacity can still maintain at 404.5 mAh g−1. Through the analysis of chemical properties and electrochemical properties, it is believed that the superior performance may stem from the porous structure, appropriate crystallinity, and the suitable grain size induced by the suitable citric acid–nitrate molar ratio.
