Bi2MoO6 hierarchical hollow microspheres with remarkable electrochemical performance

Abstract

Hierarchical hollow architectures have demonstrated a remarkable electrochemical performance. In this contribution, Bi2MoO6 hierarchical hollow microspheres constructed by nanosheets are prepared by a facile hydrothermal method without any post-treatment, and investigated firstly as anode of lithium-ion batteries. The time-dependent experiments show the morphology evolution from solid microspheres to hierarchical hollow microspheres. Compared with the previous reports, the results manifest expectedly a superior lithium storage performance in terms of specific capacity, cycling stability, rate capability, active energy and Li+ diffusion kinetics.
