Abstract

Abstract : A porous hexangular ring–core NiCo2 O4 nanosheet/NiO nanoparticle composite has been synthesized, exhibiting enhanced performance as an anode material for LIBs and as a catalyst for CO oxidation. Abstract : A porous hexangular ring–core NiCo2 O4 nanosheet/NiO nanoparticle composite has been synthesized using a hydrothermal method followed by an annealing process in air. The as-obtained composite as an anode material exhibits a high initial discharge capacity of 1920.6 mA h g −1 at a current density of 100 mA g −1 and the capacity is retained at 1567.3 mA h g −1 after 50 cycles. When it is utilized as a catalyst for CO oxidation, complete CO conversion is achieved at 115 °C and a catalytic life test demonstrates the good stability of the composite.
