Clusters of flower-shaped CuO nanosheets: microstructure and enhanced high-rate dischargeability properties of LaNi3.81Mn0.30Co0.78Al0.11 alloy electrodes

Three-dimensional clusters of peony-shaped CuO nanosheets as a high-rate anode for Li-ion batteries

“…The TCP-CuO product was fabricated by a facile solution reaction based on our previous work. 19 In a typical process, a solution of CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O and hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) were achieved by dissolved them in a mixture of distilled water and ethanol (v/v: 3 : 2) and the solution was continuously stirred for another 30 min. Then, ammonium aqueous solution (10 wt%) was added dropwise into the above solution followed by vigorous stirring for 30 min.…”
