Abstract

ZnCo₂O₄ was synthesized through the rheological phase reaction method using zinc acetate dehydrate, cobalt (II) acetate tetrahydrate, and citric acid as raw materials. The precursors were heat-treated in a muf fle furnace at 400°C or 500°C, respectively. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The electrochemical properties of the samples were investigated. The results show that ZnCo₂O₄ nanoparticles were synthesized successfully. The particles took on irregular quasi-spherical shapes, and the sizes of the particles were less than 100 nm. The electrochemical properties showed that the ZnCo₂O₄ synthesized at 400°C featured better reversible capacity than that of ZnCo₂O₄ synthesized at 500°C, and its specific capacity was 801 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at a constant current of 100 mAh g-1 in the voltage range of 0.01-3 V. Hence, the ZnCo₂O₄ synthesized by this method could be a promising anode material for lithium ion battery application. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
