Mesoporous NiO nanosheet networks as high performance anodes for Li ion batteries

Abstract

Mesoporous NiO nanosheet networks with a thickness of more than 5 μm were fabricated on Ni foam for application as an electrode in Li ion batteries. Benefiting from the favorable macro/meso-porous structures as well as the great loading of the synthesized NiO, the electrode exhibits high capacity and excellent rate capability.
