Mesoporous carbon coated molybdenum oxide nanobelts for improved lithium ion storage†
Abstract
Nanocomposites composed of mesoporous carbon coated molybdenum oxide nanobelts are prepared and used as anode materials for Li-ion batteries. The obtained MoOx/meso-C nanocomposites provide a high surface area for electrochemical reaction, large mesopore channels for lithium ion transport, improved electrical conductivity, and structural flexibility for electrode volume change.
