Construction of 1D conductive Ni-MOF nanorods with fast Li+ kinetic diffusion and stable high-rate capacities as an anode for lithium ion batteries

Abstract

1D Ni-MOFs with a hexagonal honeycomb structure, good electronic conductivity and fast Li⁺ kinetic diffusion were hydrothermally prepared, and they exhibited excellent lithium storage performance in terms of high-rate reversible capacity and long-duration cycling behavior as the anode material in lithium ion batteries.
