“…[ 30 ] The NiCo 2 O 4 microspheres display a mesoporous structure with a high specifi c surface area of 40.58 m 2 g −1 and a small pore diameter of 14.5 nm, which provides a large electrode/electrolyte contact area and benefi ts Li + transport and volume expansion/contraction. Hollow NiCo 2 O 4 nanocubes, [ 74 ] urchin-like NiCo 2 O 4 structures, [ 49 ] and NiCo 2 O 4 nanorod arrays [ 59 ] also have been found to be good candidates as anode materials for Li- [ 141 ] In NiCo 2 O 4 @Au nanotube anodes, Au nanoparticles not only improve the intrinsic conductivity of the electrode but also increase the electrode cycling stability by alleviating volume changes and phase damage during cycling.

“…For example, Li and co-workers reported the fabrication of NiCo 2 O 4 nanorod arrays on Cu substrates ( Figure 4 a) by a hydrothermal desposition route. [ 59 ] The nanorods were about 100-200 nm in diameter and several micrometers in length, well aligned to a dense array on a Cu substate surface. The NiCo 2 O 4 nanoarray can be grown not only on even substrates, but also on a cylindrical substrate.…”

“…However, the reported reversible capacity for NiCo 2 O 4 hollow spheres and nanosheets and so on is not up to 600 mA h g À1 at large current density of 1000 mA g À1 . 21,23,24 Different from the above synthetic methods, microemulsion approach equips with large interfacial area and ultralow interfacial tension. Solvothermal synthesis of nanomaterials can not only reduce the reaction temperatures, but also improve the crystallinity of the products.…”

a Binary metal oxides have been considered as promising anode materials, which exhibit much better performances than single metal oxides in view of their variable oxidation state and fairly high electrical conductivity. In this research, NiCo 2 O 4 nanocrystals are prepared from a facile procedure including microemulsion-solvothermal reaction and subsequent calcination at 400 C for 4 hours. The asprepared NiCo 2 O 4 nanocrystals are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). When applied as an anode for a lithium ion battery, it demonstrates excellent cycling and rate stability. The initial charge/discharge efficiency is as high as 75.41% at a current density of 100 mA g À1. After 45 cycles, the discharge capacity still retains up to 1175.9 mA h g À1, which is even much higher than that of the initial discharge capacity. Meanwhile, the reversible capacity remains over 644.9 mA h g À1 at a large current density of 1600 mA g À1, ascribed to the dispersed nanoparticles, which will help to improve the conductivity of the electrode material during the lithium-ion insertion/ deintercalation process, shorten the ion diffusion path and reduce the charge transfer resistance (R ct ).

Binder-free combination of highly conductive Cu bridges with amorphous TiO 2 nanotube arrays for lithium ion battery anode were designed and achieved via one-step facile electrodeposition. The obtained composite Cu/TiO 2 nanotubes electrode was studied in terms of XRD, SEM, EDX, galvanostatic charge/discharge, cycle stability, rate performance, and AC impedance. As expected, the composite electrode delivered higher discharge capacity, rate performance, and cycle stability than the bare one, possibly due to improved electrical conductivity and the synergy effect between conductive Cu bridges and amorphous TiO 2 nanotube arrays.
