Abstract

Abstract : With unique hollow frameworks decorated with well-dispersed ultrafine ZnO nanoparticles, the h-ZIF-8@ZnO hybrids exhibit good cycling performance with a reversible capacity of ∼637.9 mA h g −1 at a high current density of 1.0 A g −1 after 500 cycles. Abstract : Herein, we have successfully realized the on-site evolution of ultrafine ZnO nanoparticles from hollow zeolitic-imidazolate-framework-8 through a simple but efficient plasma treatment. With unique hollow frameworks which decorated with well-dispersed ultrafine ZnO nanoparticles, the h-ZIF-8@ZnO hybrids exhibit enhanced electrochemical performance for Li-ion batteries.
