Nickel oxide (NiO) directly grown on nickel foam is regarded as a promising lithium ion battery anode material which shows good cyclic and rate performances with a theoretical specific capacity of 718 mAhg−1. In this study, ...

The performance of polycrystalline and amorphous germanium (Ge) as anode active materials for lithium-ion batteries was studied systematically. Polycrystalline Ge on vertically-aligned multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) ...
