Synthesis, crystal structure of a lithium - zinc bimetal coordination polymer and its graphene composite as anode materials for lithium ion battery

A Li+ − Zn2+ bimetal coordination network was obtained via a simple hydrothermal synthesis, which contains 4,5-imidazole dicarboxylic acid and hydroxyl group as ligands, forms a dense 3-D framework and its graphene composite shows interesting Libs performance as anode material.155
