Facile and cost effective synthesis of mesoporous spinel NiCo2O4 as an anode for high lithium storage capacity

TLDR
The urea assisted facile co-precipitation synthesis of spinel NiCo2O4 is reported and its application as an anode material for LIBs with the advantages of unique performance and facile preparation.
Abstract
To fulfill the high power and high energy density demands for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) new anode materials need to be explored to replace conventional graphite. Herein, we report the urea assisted facile co-precipitation synthesis of spinel NiCo2O4 and its application as an anode material for LIBs. The synthesized NiCo2O4 exhibited an urchin-like microstructure and polycrystalline and mesoporous nature. In addition, the mesoporous NiCo2O4 electrode exhibited an initial discharge capacity of 1095 mA h g−1 and maintained a reversible capacity of 1000 mA h g−1 for 400 cycles at 0.5 C-rate. The reversible capacity of NiCo2O4 could still be maintained at 718 mA h g−1, even at 10 C. The mesoporous NiCo2O4 exhibits great potential as an anode material for LIBs with the advantages of unique performance and facile preparation.
