MOF derived composites for cathode protection: coatings of LiCoO2 from UiO-66 and MIL-53 as ultra-stable cathodes†
Abstract
A mechanochemical synthetic method of preparing LiCoO2 coated by MOF-derived metal oxide composites is introduced. Mono-dispersed ZrO2 and Al2O3 are applied as protection layers. These composites show 148 mA h g−1 at a current density of 2325 mA g−1 and excellent thermal stability (55 °C).
