Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>More than just an empty shell</bold>: Multishelled Co₃O₄ microspheres were synthesized as anode materials for lithium‐ion batteries in high yield and purity. As their porous hollow multishell structure guarantees a shorter Li⁺ diffusion length and sufficient void space to buffer the volume expansion, their rate capacity, cycling performance, and specific capacity were excellent (1615.8 mA h g⁻¹ in the 30th cycle for triple‐shelled Co₃O₄; see graph).<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg21kr24vs" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
