Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201402552-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A generalized hydrothermal</bold> strategy for fabricating three‐dimensional (3D) battery electrodes is presented. The hydrothermal growth deposits electrochemically active nanomaterials uniformly throughout the complex 3D mesostructure of the scaffold. Ni inverse opals coated with SnO₂ nanoparticles or Co₃O₄ nanoplatelets, and SiO₂ inverse opals coated with Fe₃O₄ are fabricated, all of which show attractive properties including good capacity retention and C‐rate performances. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh2ch3c2f7" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
