Synthesis of porous nickel networks supported metal oxide nanowire arrays as binder-free anode for lithium-ion batteries

We report the fabrication of the 3D Ni-Co3O4 NWs electrode through a facile electrodepositing 3D Ni film followed by hydrothermal growth of Co3O4 nanowire arrays process. As an anode material for LIBs, 3D Ni-Co3O4 NWs electrode delivers enhanced electrochemical performance.195
