Hollow CoFe₂O₄ nanospheres as a high capacity anode material for lithium ion batteries
1Centre for Clean Energy and Technology, School of Chemistry and Forensic Science, University of Technology Sydney, City Campus, Broadway, Sydney NSW 2007, Australia.
Abstract:
Hollow structured CoFe₂O₄ nanospheres were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The uniform hollow nanosphere architecture of the as-prepared CoFe₂O₄ has been confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy analysis, which give an outer diameter of 200-300 nm and a wall thickness of about 100 nm. CoFe₂O₄ nanospheres exhibited a high reversible capacity of 1266 mA h g⁻¹ with an excellent capacity retention of 93.6% over 50 cycles and an improved rate capability. CoFe₂O₄ could be a promising high capacity anode material for lithium ion batteries.

Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
