Abstract

Molybdenum oxide (MoO3) has become a potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries due to high theoretical capacity and environmental friendliness. Nonetheless, MoO3 suffers from serious capacity fading caused by severe pulverization and lower electronic conductivity. Herein, the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are embedded in α-MoO3 nanoribbons via a facile one-step hydrothermal process. The synergistic effect of α-MoO3 and CNTs can effectively alleviate the volume expansion of α-MoO3 and dominated Li+ storage properties. As a result, the flexible α-MoO3/CNTs composite exhibits excellent rate capability compared with the original α-MoO3, as well as a reversible capacity of 270 mAh/g after 250 cycles.
