Hierarchical Three-Dimensional\nZnCo₂O₄ Nanowire Arrays/Carbon Cloth Anodes\nfor a Novel Class of High-Performance Flexible Lithium-Ion Batteries

Abstract

Flexible electronics is an emerging and promising technology\nfor next generation of optoelectronic devices. Herein, hierarchical\nthree-dimensional ZnCo₂O₄ nanowire arrays/carbon\ncloth composites were synthesized as high performance binder-free\nanodes for Li-ion battery with the features of high reversible capacity\nof 1300–1400 mAh g^–1 and excellent cycling\nability even after 160 cycles with a capacity of 1200 mAh g^–1. Highly flexible full batteries were also fabricated, exhibiting\nhigh flexibility, excellent electrical stability, and superior electrochemical\nperformances.
