Metal organic frameworks route to prepare two-dimensional porous zinc-cobalt oxide plates as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries

A series of two-dimensional porous zinc-cobalt oxide plates are synthesized with the help of a morphology-maintained annealing treatment of metal organic frameworks. The ratio of metal in zinc-cobalt oxide is continuously adjusted. When evaluated as electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries, the nanocomposite exhibits large reversible capacity, excellent cycling stability and superior rate capability.199
