Abstract

The growth of ultrathin ZnCo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanosheets on reduced graphene oxide (denoted as rGO/ZnCo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>) via a facile low-temperature solution method combined with a subsequent annealing treatment is reported. With the assistance of citrate, interconnected ZnCo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanosheets can assemble into hierarchically porous overlays on both sides of rGO sheets. Such a hybrid nanostructure would effectively faciliate the charge transport and accommodate volume variation upon prolonged charge/discharge cycling for reversible lithium storage. As a result, the rGO/ZnCo<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanocomposite manifests a very stable high reversible capacity of around 960 mAh g<sup>−1</sup> over 100 cycles at a low current density of 90 mA g<sup>−1</sup> and excellent rate capability. © 2015 The Authors.
