Abstract
A facile one-pot hydrothermal method has been developed for the preparation of carbon-coated MoO 2 nanocrystals. The annealed MoO 2-C nanocomposite consists of interconnected MoO 2@C nanocrystals. When evaluated for lithium storage capabilities, these MoO 2@C nanocrystals exhibit high specific capacities (∼ 640 mA h g -1 at 200 mA g -1 and ∼575 mA h g -1 at 400 mA g -1) and excellent cycling stability. In view of the excellent lithium storage properties and the ease in large-scale preparation, the as-synthesized MoO 2-C nanocomposite might be used as promising anode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. © 2011 American Chemical Society.
