Abstract:
Hexagonal (h-WO3) mesocrystals with biconical morphology were prepared by a straightforward ionic liquid-assisted hydrothermal route and investigated as anodic materials for lithium-ion batteries. Compared to the alternatives, the biconical tungsten trioxide mesocrystal exhibited excellent lithium insertion with good cyclability and rate capability, making it a promising candidate as the anode material for high-performance lithium-ion batteries.
