Abstract

A series of nickel foam (NF)-based composites of M_xO_y/RGO/Ni(OH)₂ [M_xO_y = Co₃O₄, MnO₂, and Ni(OH)₂] with diverse multilayer nano-architectures were designed and grown in situ on NF through a one-pot hydrothermal process. Based on the redox reaction between the active NF substrate and graphene oxide (GO), along with electrostatic forces between the Mⁿ⁺ ions and GO in the solution, strong interactions take place at the interfaces of M_xO_y/RGO, RGO/Ni(OH)₂, and Ni(OH)₂/Ni, and thus, there is good contact for electron transfer. These M_xO_y/RGO/Ni(OH)₂ samples were directly used as conductive-agent- and binder-free anodes for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), and the Ni(OH)₂/RGO/Ni(OH)₂/NF composite electrode showed a high specific capacity, good rate capability, and excellent cycling stability, especially, it had a high reversible capacity of about 1330 mAh g^-1 even after 200 cycles at 100 mA g^-1. This general strategy presents a promising route for the design and synthesis of various multilayer nano-architectural transition metal oxides (hydroxide)/RGO composites on NF as energy storage materials. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.
