Abstract

Abstract : A porous NiO architecture, which was synthesized by the calcination of a coordination polymer precursor, exhibited high Li-storage and excellent cyclability and could be used as an anode material for Li-ion batteries. Abstract : By the calcination of a coordination polymer precursor, a porous flower-like NiO architecture was conveniently synthesized. The electrode fabricated by it exhibited excellent cycling stability and high rate performance in electrochemical tests. The lithium storage could be maintained at ∼1000 mA h g −1 with a high coulombic efficiency (∼95%), which is among the best reported results.
