One-pot synthesis of uniform carbon-coated MoO(2) nanospheres for high-rate reversible lithium storage

Chem Commun (Camb). 2010 Oct 7;46(37):6906-8. doi: 10.1039/c0cc01174f. Epub 2010 Aug 23.

Abstract

Uniform carbon-coated MoO(2) nanospheres assembled from small primary nanocrystals have been synthesized by a one-pot hydrothermal method followed by thermal annealing. Because of the desirable structural features, these core-shell MoO(2)@carbon nanospheres exhibit significantly improved electrochemical performance for high-rate reversible lithium storage.
