Interconnected Network of CoMoO4 Submicrometer Particles As High Capacity Anode Material for Lithium Ion Batteries

Interconnected networks of CoMoO(4) submicrometer particles are prepared by thermolysis of polymer matrix based metal precursor solution. The material exhibited a high reversible capacity of 990 (±10) mAh g(-1) at a current density of 100 mA g(-1), with 100% capacity retention between 5 and 50 cycles. The improved electrochemical performance of CoMoO(4) submicrometer particles with interconnected network like morphology makes it promising as a high-capacity anode material for rechargeable lithium ion batteries.
