Facile synthesis of a 3D-porous LiNbO3 nanocomposite as a novel electrode material for lithium ion batteries†
Abstract
A facile and efficient synthesis was developed to fabricate a 3D-porous LiNbO3 nanocomposite by microwave-induced auto-combustion. Such a material shows a high reversible capacity, excellent rate performance and stable cycle performance indicating its great potential as a promising anode material for Li-ion batteries.
