Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of the efficiency of thermal annealing of nanostructures for phase transformations of the FeCo – Fe2CoO4/Co3O4-spinel type, as well as the subsequent application of the obtained nanotubes as a basis for anode materials of lithium-ion batteries. The choice of these types of nanotubes for use as a basis for anode materials is due to their structure, as well as the great potential of using spinel structures in this area, interest in which is manifested due to the possibility of accelerating lithiation processes and long-term preservation of the specific capacity of batteries. During the study, it was found that for spinel structures, the formation of oxide growths on the surface of nanotubes, the presence of which is associated with oxidative processes during annealing, is observed. Testing the applicability of these structures as anode materials showed that the formation of oxide spinel structures of type Fe2CoO4/Co3O4 leads to an increase in the number of cycles by 1.5–1.7 times compared to the original nanotubes. The efficiency of increasing the lifetime of anode materials is due to an increase in resistance to degradation of Fe2CoO4/Co3O4 structures, due to the formation of oxide phases, leading to an acceleration of lithation processes.
