Abstract

The poor conductivity is one of the prime reasons restricted MOFs to be applied in the lithium-ion battery system. For the sake of ameliorate this issue, the Ni/NiO was well loaded on the surface of Cr-based metal organic frameworks (MIL-101) by solution impregnation and in situ reduction method to form Ni/NiO@MIL-101(Cr) composites. The as-synthesized Ni/NiO@MIL-101(Cr) was characterized by X-ray powder diffractions, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope techniques. When used as anode for LIBs, the Ni/NiO@MIL-101(Cr) composite exhibited high reversible capacity (891 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g-1) and stable cycle performance, the coulombic efficiency can maintain in the whole cycle above 95.0%. The reasons for that Ni/NiO@MIL-101(Cr) behaved outstanding electrochemical properties were discussed also. The Ni/NiO@MIL-101(Cr) can be used as promising material for lithium-ion battery application.
