Optimizing the rate performance and cycle life of Li₂ MTi₃O₈ (M = Mn, Co, Zn)/CNTs for lithium-ion battery anodes by constructing a one-dimensional carbon-based hybrid structure

Abstract

One-dimensional nanohybrids Li2MTi3O8/CNTs (M = Mn, Co, Zn), i.e., Li2MTi3O8 nanoparticles embedded in carbon nanotubes, are synthesized by the combined means involving in sol-gel, solid phase grinding and calcination. As...
