NiCo-MOFs porous nanomaterials prepared by different organic frameworks as anodes for li-ion batteries

Abstract

With the upgrading of mobile and portable electronic devices, people have higher requirements for the performance of batteries, and anode materials, as one of the factors affecting the electrochemical performance of lithium ion storage, have become a hot spot of widespread concern. This paper illustrates a creative and effective strategy to synthesize four different NiCo-MOFs materials. After studying their respective unique structural features, it was found that, unlike the topologies of NiCo-PTA (terephthalic acid) and NiCo-H3BTC (trimesic acid), the substitution of Ni and Co for N occurred in NiCo-EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and NiCo-BI (benzimidazole). Electrochemical studies show that NiCo-PTA, NiCo-EDTA, NiCo-H3BTC, and NiCo-BI all have high initial discharge specific capacities of 1770.41576.11905.1 and 1877.5 mAh/g at a current density of 100 mA/g. When NiCo-EDTA and NiCo-BI are cycled at a current density of 100 mA/g, the specific capacity decreases more slowly than NiCo-PTA and NiCo-H3BTC. Similarly, the capacity of NiCo-PTA and NiCo-H3BTC almost began to rise at the 70th cycle, the capacity of NiCo-BI began to rise at the 67th cycle, and NiCo-EDTA showed the slowest rise at the 78th cycle, they all showed excellent cycle performance.
