Abstract

Read online

Degradation and low conductivity of transition metal oxide anodes cause capacity fading in lithium ion batteries. Here the authors make freestanding 3D copper oxide/carbon nitride core-shell nanoarrays which accommodate volume change, provide electro-active zones and facilitate rapid charge transport.
