Abstract

Uniform porous Fe3O4@C nanospheres are successfully synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method. When used as anode material for lithium-ion battery, it shows quite a good electrochemical performance. The Fe3O4@C nanosphere anode delivers a high reversible specific capacity of ∼609 mAh/g in 200th cycle at a current density of 200 mA/g. The thin coating carbon and porous structure play an important role in the improvement of electrochemical performances of Fe3O4 nanoparticles anode, which could provide void spaces for active Fe3O4 to buffer the volume expansion during the discharge/charge processes and increase the conductivity of the whole anode. Therefore, it is proved that the superior electrochemical performances makes this composite a promising candidate of anode material for lithium-ion battery.
