Abstract

Graphite is commonly used as an anode material in lithium ion batteries. However, it cannot meet the increasing needs of higher capacity because of low specific capacity (372.0 mA$\cdot$h/g). Thus, rationally synthesis and design of high performance anode materials is a key factor in improving energy density and electrochemistry properties of lithium ion batteries. ZIF-8 was synthesized and encapsulated with ZIF-67 to form core-shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67. This was followed by a subsequent annealing treatment to obtain hollow ZnCo$_2$O$_4$/ZnO nanoboxes. Morphologies and structures of hollow ZnCo$_2$O$_4$/ZnO nanoboxes were characterized with XRD, SEM and TEM. When tested as anode materials for lithium ionbatteries, the hollow ZnCo$_2$O$_4$/ZnO nanoboxes exhibited enhanced performance. Specifically, discharge capacity of 1 536.8 mA$\cdot$h/g was achieved in the first cycle, and retains 780 mA$\cdot $h/g after 100 cycles at a current density of 100 mA/g.
