Abstract

In this paper, PbGeO3 nanorods were successfully prepared by a simple one-step hydrothermal method, and its morphology was regulated by adjusting the concentration of ethylenediamine (EDA) to form PbGeO3 with different morphology. Then pyrrole was used as the carbon source to synthesize PbGeO3/C composite. The structure and morphology of the samples were characterized by XRD, SEM and TEM. The C content of the composites (PbGeO3/C) was tested by thermogravimetry (TG). The constant current charge–discharge test shows that the charging platform of PbGeO3 material is between 0.5 and 0.7 V, and the electrochemical performance of the PbGeO3/C was significantly improved to be compared with pure PbGeO3. At a current density of 100 mA g−1, the discharge initial specific capacity for the PbGeO3/C was 1715.7 mAh g−1, and it could still maintain at 914 mAh g−1 after 150 cycles, and the rate performance is also significantly improved. And the electrochemical reaction mechanism was discussed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) method. The composite (PbGeO3/C) has hope to be used as anode material for lithium-ion battery application.
