Cyano-bridged coordination polymer gel as a precursor to a nanoporous In2O3–Co3O4 hybrid network for high-capacity and cycle-stable lithium storage

Abstract

A novel type of nanoporous In₂O₃–Co₃O₄ hybrid network has been synthesized using a cyano-bridged coordination polymer gel as a precursor. When applied as an anode in lithium-ion batteries, the In₂O₃–Co₃O₄ network manifests remarkable capacity retention and high reversible capacities by virtue of its unique compositional and structural features.
