Abstract
Electrochemical energy systems mark a pivotal advancement in the energy sector, delivering substantial improvements over conventional systems. Yet, a major challenge remains the deficiency in storage technology to effectively retain the energy produced. Amongst these are batteries and supercapacitors, renowned for their versatility and efficiency, which depend heavily on the quality of their electrode materials. Metal oxide composites, in particular, have emerged as highly promising due to the synergistic effects that significantly enhance their functionality and efficiency beyond individual components. This review explores the application of metal oxide composites in the electrodes of batteries and SCs, focusing on various material perspectives and synthesis methodologies, including exfoliation and hydrothermal/solvothermal processes. It also examines how these methods influence device performance. Furthermore, the review confronts the challenges and charts future directions for metal oxide composite-based energy storage systems, critically evaluating aspects such as scalability of synthesis, cost-effectiveness, environmental sustainability, and integration with advanced nanomaterials and electrolytes. These factors are crucial for advancing next-generation energy storage technologies, striving to enhance performance while upholding sustainability and economic viability.

Abstract
Tin sulfide (Sn2S3) has been recognized as a potential anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to its high theoretical capacities. However, the sluggish ion diffusion kinetics, low conductivity, and severe volume changes during cycling have limited its practical application. In this study, Sn2S3 quantum dots (QDs) (≈1.6 nm) homogeneously embedded in an N, S co-doped carbon fiber network (Sn2S3-CFN) are successfully fabricated by sequential freeze-drying, carbonization, and sulfidation strategies. As anode materials, the Sn2S3-CFN delivers high reversible capacities and excellent rate capability (300.0 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 and 250.0 mAh g-1 at 20 A g-1 for SIBs; 165.3 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 and 100.0 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 for PIBs) and superior long-life cycling capability (279.6 mAh g-1 after 10 000 cycles at 5 A g-1 for SIBs; 166.3 mAh g-1 after 5 000 cycles at 2 A g-1 for PIBs). According to experimental analysis and theoretical calculations, the exceptional performance of the Sn2S3-CFN composite can be attributed to the synergistic effect of the conductive carbon fiber network and the Sn2S3 quantum dots, which contribute to the structural stability, reversible electrochemical reactions, and superior electron transportation and ions diffusion.

Sun X, Luo F. Facile Fabrication of Large-Area CuO Flakes for Sodium-Ion Energy Storage Applications. Molecules 2024; 29:2528.

Abstract
CuO is recognized as a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries because of its impressive theoretical capacity of 674 mAh g-1, derived from its multiple electron transfer capabilities. However, its practical application is hindered by slow reaction kinetics and rapid capacity loss caused by side reactions during discharge/charge cycles. In this work, we introduce an innovative approach to fabricating large-area CuO and CuO@Al2O3 flakes through a combination of magnetron sputtering, thermal oxidation, and atomic layer deposition techniques. The resultant 2D CuO flakes demonstrate excellent electrochemical properties with a high initial reversible specific capacity of 487 mAh g-1 and good cycling stability, which are attributable to their unique architectures and superior structural durability. Furthermore, when these CuO flakes are coated with an ultrathin Al2O3 layer, the integration of the 2D structures with outer nanocoating leads to significantly enhanced electrochemical properties. Notably, even after 70 rate testing cycles, the CuO@Al2O3 materials maintain a high capacity of 525 mAh g-1 at a current density of 50 mA g-1. Remarkably, at a higher current density of 2000 mA g-1, these materials still achieve a capacity of 220 mAh g-1. Moreover, after 200 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g-1, a high charge capacity of 319 mAh g-1 is sustained. In addition, a full cell consisting of a CuO@Al2O3 anode and a NaNi1/3Fe1/3Mn1/3O2 cathode is investigated, showcasing remarkable cycling performance. Our findings underscore the potential of these innovative flake-like architectures as electrode materials in high-performance sodium-ion batteries, paving the way for advancements in energy storage technologies.

Abstract
In this study, hollow and hierarchical CuO micro-nano cubes wrapped by reduced graphene oxide (H-CuO MNCs@rGO) were designed and successfully fabricated via a novel three-step wet-chemical method. Benefiting from its unique hollow and hierarchical micro-nano structures, H-CuO MNCs@rGO exhibited significantly enhanced electrochemical Na+ storage performance when utilized as anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Specifically, H-CuO MNCs@rGO demonstrated a specific capacity of 380.9 mAh g-1 in the initial reversible cycle and a capacity retention of 218.9 mAh g-1 after 150 cycles at a current density of 300 mA g-1. Furthermore, through the dominant pseudocapacitive behavior, an optimized rate capability of 221.2 mAh g-1 at 800 mA g-1 can be obtained for H-CuO MNCs@rGO. The comprehensive Na+ storage properties of H-CuO MNCs@rGO obviously exceeded those of hollow CuO cubes (H-CuO MNCs) and bulk CuO anodes. Such enhanced Na+ storage performances of H-CuO MNCs@rGO can be attributed to its reasonable hollow and hierarchical micro-nano structures, which provide abundant redox active sites, shorten Na+ migration pathway, buffer volume expansion, and improve electronic/ionic conductivity during sodiation/desodiation process. Our strategy provides a facile and innovative approach for the design of CuO with rational micro-nano structure as a high-performance anode for SIBs, which would also be a guiding way for tailoring transition metal oxides in other scalable and functional applications.

Abstract
New-fashioned electrode hosts for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are elaborately engineered to involve multifunctional active components that can synergistically conquer the critical issues of severe volume deformation and sluggish reaction kinetics of electrodes toward immensely enhanced battery performance. Herein, it is first reported that single-phase CoPS, a new metal phosphosulfide for SIBs, in the form of quantum dots, is successfully introduced into a leaf-shaped conductive carbon nanosheet, which can be further in situ anchored on a 3D interconnected branch-like N-doped carbon nanofiber (N-CNF) to construct a hierarchical branch-leaf-shaped CoPS@C@N-CNF architecture. Both double carbon decorations and ultrafine crystal of the CoPS in-this exquisite architecture hold many significant superiorities, such as favorable train-relaxation, fast interfacial ion-migration, multi-directional migration pathways, and sufficiently exposed Na+ -storage sites. In consequence, the CoPS@C@N-CNF affords remarkable long-cycle durability over 10 000 cycles at 20.0 A g-1 and superior rate capability. Meanwhile, the CoPS@C@N-CNF-based sodium-ion full cell renders the potential proof-of-feasibility for practical applications in consideration of its high durability over a long-term cyclic lifespan with remarkable reversible capacity. Moreover, the phase transformation mechanism of the CoPS@C@N-CNF and fundamental springhead of the enhanced performance are disclosed by in situ X-ray diffraction, ex situ high-resolution TEM, and theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Nucleophilic materials play important roles in the deposition behavior of high-energy-density metal batteries (Li, Na, K, Zn, and Ca), while the principle and determination method of nucleophilicity are lacking. In this review, we summarize the metal extraction/deposition process to find out the mechanism of nucleophilic deposition behavior. The key points of the most critical nucleophilic behavior were found by combining the potential change, thermodynamic analysis, and active metal deposition behavior. On this basis, the inductivity and affinity of the material have been determined by Gibbs free energy directly. Thus, the inducibility of most materials has been classified: (a) induced nuclei can reduce the overpotential of active metals; (b) not all materials can induce active metal deposition; (c) the induced reaction is not changeless. Based on these results, the influencing factors (temperature, mass, phase state, induced reaction product, and alloying reactions) were also taken into account during the choice of inducers for active metal deposition. Finally, the critical issues, challenges, and perspectives for further development of high-utilization metal electrodes were considered comprehensively.

Emergence of Visible-Light Water Oxidation Upon Hexaniobate-Ligand Entrapment of Quantum-Confined Copper-Oxide Cores. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202213762.

Abstract
The formation of small 1 to 3 nm organic-ligand free metal-oxide nanocrystals (NCs) is essential to utilization of their attractive size-dependent properties in electronic devices and catalysis. We now report that hexaniobate cluster-anions, [Nb6 O19 ]8- , can arrest the growth of metal-oxide NCs and stabilize them as water-soluble complexes. This is exemplified by formation of hexaniobate-complexed 2.4-nm monoclinic-phase CuO NCs (1), whose ca. 350 Cu-atom cores feature quantum-confinement effects that impart an unprecedented ability to catalyze visible-light water oxidation with no added photosensitizers or applied potentials, and at rates exceeding those of hematite NCs. The findings point to polyoxoniobate-ligand entrapment as a potentially general method for harnessing the size-dependent properties of very small semiconductor NCs as the cores of versatile, entirely-inorganic complexes.

Abstract
Herein, cherry flower waste-derived activated carbon (CFAC) with self-doped nitrogen is synthesized as a viable energy storage material for green and sustainable energy solutions. The activated carbon derived in this way is examined as an electric double-layer capacitance (EDLC)-type electrode material and sodium-ion battery (NIB) electrode material, and commendable performance is demonstrated for both of these energy storage applications. The specific surface area (SSA) and nitrogen content are observed to play a very delicate role in determining the charge storage ability of the CFAC, and the performance is optimized only by carefully balancing both of these properties. The optimized CFAC electrode supplied an excellent performance with a specific capacitance of 333.8 F g-1 and capacity is maintained to more than 96% even after 38,000 charge-discharge cycles as an EDLC-type supercapacitor electrode material. Likewise, the CFAC/NIB also yielded remarkable performance with an average specific capacity of 150 mAh g-1 and capacity retention of more than 84% after 200 charge-discharge cycles. Furthermore, an electrokinetic study was performed for both supercapacitor and NIB applications to identify the contribution from surface and diffusion type charge storage phenomena, consequently highlighting the role of the SSA and nitrogen content in the CFAC matrix.

Abstract
In this paper, hydrophobic luminescent CdSe quantum dots are successfully dispersed in a mixture of styrene and methyl methacrylate through the oleic to methacrylic acid ligand exchange. Further in situ solution polymerization of the quantum dots in a mixture of styrene and methyl methacrylate followed by electrospinning allowed us to prepare luminescence hybrid styrene-co-methyl methacrylate fibers embedded with quantum dots. CdSe@P(S+MMA) hybrid fibers with 27% quantum yield showed excellent moisture, heat and salt resistance with a photoluminescence output below 120 °C. When dry heated, the hybrid fibers of the fluorescence signals decreased with temperature to 79%, 40%, 28%, 20% and 13% at 120 °C, 140 °C, 160 °C, 180 °C and 200 °C, respectively, due the to the chemical degradation of CdSe QDs. Such hybrid fibers show the potential to manufacture wearable moisture- and heat-sensing protective clothing in a 120–200 °C range due to the thermal-induced quenching of quantum dot photoluminescence.

Abstract
Spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) offer immense potential in the form of resources such as Li, transition metals (Co, Ni, and Mn), graphite, and Cu, which can be recovered through suitable recycling procedures. The Cu-current collector is recovered from spent LIBs and converted as a copper oxide (CuO) anode for Na-ion batteries. The performance of CuO is evaluated with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) (CuO-C), and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) (CuO-P) binders in CuO half-cell and CuO/carbon-coated Na3 V2 (PO4 )2 O2 F (CuO/NVPOF) full-cell assemblies. The CuO-C half-cell displays superior electrochemical performance than CuO-P in terms of cycling and rate performance showing 88% more capacity. To study the stabilization and solid electrolyte interphase growth in CuO-C, an in situ impedance study is conducted. However, the full-cell, CuO-P/NVPOF displays better capacity retention during cycling with Coulombic efficiency >95% from the second cycle, whereas CuO-C/NVPOF could hardly maintain only >90%. For conversion type CuO, it is apparent that, though the CMC binder supports half-cell performance, the PVdF binder is suitable for the practical cell/full-cell configuration.

Abstract
Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) have gained significant attention in recent years for their increased energy density without altering their power density. LICs achieve higher capacitance than traditional supercapacitors due to their hybrid battery electrode and subsequent higher voltage. This is due to the asymmetric action of LICs, which serves as an enhancer of traditional supercapacitors. This culminates in the potential for pollution-free, long-lasting, and efficient energy-storing that is required to realise a renewable energy future. This review article offers an analysis of recent progress in the production of LIC electrode active materials, requirements and performance. In-situ hybridisation and ex-situ recombination of composite materials comprising a wide variety of active constituents is also addressed. The possible challenges and opportunities for future research based on LICs in energy applications are also discussed.

Abstract
The development of pseudocapacitive materials for energy-oriented applications has stimulated considerable interest in recent years due to their high energy-storing capacity with high power outputs. Nevertheless, the utilization of nanosized active materials in batteries leads to fast redox kinetics due to the improved surface area and short diffusion pathways, which shifts their electrochemical signatures from battery-like to the pseudocapacitive-like behavior. As a result, it becomes challenging to distinguish "pseudocapacitive" and "battery" materials. Such misconceptions have further impacted on the final device configurations. This Review is an earnest effort to clarify the confusion between the battery and pseudocapacitive materials by providing their true meanings and correct performance metrics. A method to distinguish battery-type and pseudocapacitive materials using the electrochemical signatures and quantitative kinetics analysis is outlined. Taking solid-state supercapacitors (SSCs, only polymer gel electrolytes) as an example, the distinction between asymmetric and hybrid supercapacitors is discussed. The state-of-the-art progress in the engineering of active materials is summarized, which will guide for the development of real-pseudocapacitive energy storage systems.

NANOSCALE ADVANCES 2020; 2:1269-1281. [PMID: 36133059 PMCID: PMC9418470 DOI: 10.1039/c9na00773c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2019] [Accepted: 02/13/2020] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
CuO and its gallium composites with various compositions are successfully fabricated by using a hydrothermal technique followed by calcination at 900 °C. The added Ga precursors formed oxides in the composites, such as Ga2O3, CuGa2O4 and Cu4O3, as confirmed through the X-ray diffraction patterns as well as the HRTEM and SAED patterns. Further HRTEM analysis also confirmed that Cu4O3 and CuGa2O4 phases reside on the surface of CuO in the composites with a CuO : Ga ratio of 90 : 10. The contents of various oxide phases varied when we increased the amount of Ga in the CuO composites. Changing the ratios of CuO and Ga precursors in the composites is quite effective in tailoring the sodium-ion storage behaviour of CuO. The resultant CuO/Ga composites exhibit remarkable electrochemical performance for sodium-ion batteries in terms of capacity, rate capability and cycling performance. The composite containing 90% CuO and 10% Cu/Ga oxides delivers the highest charge capacity of 661 mA h g-1 at a current density of 0.07 A g-1 with a capacity retention of 73.1% even after 500 cycles. The structure and morphology of the composite (90% CuO and 10% Cu/Ga oxides) was successfully retained after 500 cycles, which was confirmed through ex situ XRD, SEM and HRTEM analyses. The composite also exhibited remarkable rate capability in which it delivered 96 mA h g-1 even at a high current density of 6.6 A g-1. The enhanced electrochemical performances of CuO and its gallium composites are attributed to the presence of Cu4O3 and CuGa2O4 phases. The Cu4O3 phase is actively involved in the redox reaction and the CuGa2O4 phase stabilizes the CuO phase and buffers the volume expansion of CuO during cycling. The present approach eplores great opportunities for improving the electrochemical performance of oxide based anode materials for sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Conversion-type anode materials for sodium ion batteries have received extensive attention because of their relatively high theoretical capacity. However, multiple challenging obstacles stand in the way of their commercial application, especially their poor cycling stability resulting from the bad reversibility of the conversion reaction. Herein, Ni-Co bimetal sulfide was selected and investigated with the goal of improving the reversibility of the conversion reaction owing to the similarity of Ni and Co. As expected, when three-dimensional hierarchical Ni@NiCo2S4 (NiCo2S4 nanowires growing on the Ni foam) was applied as the free-standing anode for sodium ion batteries, it demonstrated high capacity and excellent cycling stability (90.65%, 100 cycles) compared with those of monometallic sulfides. Various characterization [in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), ex situ XRD, ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, FESEM mapping, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy] tests confirmed that the Ni-Co alloy was formed during the discharge process and effectively prevented the crystalline grain growth of conversion reaction products, improving the reaction kinetics and reversibility.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have recently emerged as one of the favored contenders for use in medium and large-scale stationary energy storage owing to the abundance of the resources required to fabricate them, their low cost, and the fact that have properties similar to equivalent Li batteries. However, their development also faces challenges such as poor cycling stability and unsatisfying rate performance. In traditional electrodes, binders are commonly used to integrate individual active materials with conductive additives. Unfortunately, binders are generally electrochemically inactive and insulating, which reduces the overall energy density and leads to poor cycling stability. Therefore, binder-free electrodes provide great opportunity for high-performance SIBs in terms of both improved electronic conductivity and electrochemical reaction reversibility. This Progress Report provides an overview of the recent progress in binder-free electrodes for SIBs. It focuses on the current challenges of binder-free electrodes and provides an outlook for their future in energy conversion and storage.

Abstract
Mixed transition metal oxides with favorable electrochemical properties are promising electrode materials in energy storage and conversion systems. In this work, uniform porous yolk-shell MnCo2O4 (denoted as YSM-MCO) microrugby balls have been synthesized by simple annealing treatment of metal carbonates with a microrugby ball shape in air. Benefiting from the desired porous structure and composition, the as-synthesized YSM-MCO exhibits enhanced electrochemical performance when investigated as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries and electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction. The YSM-MCO demonstrates remarkable lithium storage properties with a good cycling stability (94% capacity retention over 200 cycles at 0.5 A g-1) and superior rate capability (414 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1). In addition, the YSM-MCO also exhibits better OER activity than most of the reported MnCo2O4-based electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries because of the abundance and low cost of K. However, an important challenge faced by KIBs is the search for high-capacity materials that can hold large-diameter K ions. Herein, copper oxide (CuO) nanoplates are synthesized as high-performance anode materials for KIBs. CuO nanoplates with a thickness of ≈20 nm afford a large electrode-electrolyte contact interface and short K+ ion diffusion distance. As a consequence, a reversible capacity of 342.5 mAh g-1 is delivered by the as-prepared CuO nanoplate electrode at 0.2 A g-1 . Even after 100 cycles at a high current density of 1.0 A g-1 , the capacity of the electrode remains over 206 mAh g-1 , which is among the best values for KIB anodes reported in the literature. Moreover, a conversion reaction occurs at the CuO anode. Cu nanoparticles form during the first potassiation process and reoxidize to Cu2 O during the depotassiation process. Thereafter, the conversion reaction proceeds between the as-formed Cu2 O and Cu, yielding a reversible theoretical capacity of 374 mAh g-1 . Considering their low cost, easy preparation, and environmental benignity, CuO nanoplates are promising KIB anode materials.

Abstract
Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) are being billed as an economical and environmental alternative to lithium ion batteries (LIBs), especially for medium and large-scale stationery and grid storage. However, SIBs suffer from lower capacities, energy density and cycle life performance. Therefore, in order to be more efficient and feasible, novel high-performance electrodes for SIBs need to be developed and researched. This review aims to provide an exhaustive discussion about the state-of-the-art in novel high-performance anodes and cathodes being currently analyzed, and the variety of advantages they demonstrate in various critically important parameters, such as electronic conductivity, structural stability, cycle life, and reversibility.

Abstract
In recent times, few-layer black phosphorus (BP) has attracted tremendous attention as a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its particular two-dimensional structure, good electron conductivity, and high theoretical capacity. The main disadvantages of BP-based materials are the lower practical specific capacity of the BP-based composite than expectation because of the low P atom utilization and the structural fracture due to the large volume expansion that occurs during sodiation/desodiation cycles. In this work, we report a ternary composite comprising BP, graphite, and polyaniline (BP-G/PANI) with a BP mass content of ∼65 wt %. The ternary composite provides an optimized ion pathway (electrolyte → PANI → BP-G → BP), which reduces the charge transfer resistance of the electrode. Also, further ex situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements demonstrate that the presence of graphite in the BP-G composite allows a deep sodiation of BP and also leads to a higher sodiation/desodiation reversibility. In addition, the uniformly coated PANI also restricts the huge volume expansion of the BP electrode through discharge/charge processes, which promise the stable cycling performance of BP-G/PANI. Thus, our composite shows a high reversible gravimetric capacity of 1530 mAh gcompo.-1 at 0.25 A g-1 and a capacity retention of 520 mAh gcompo.-1 after 1000 cycles at a high current density of 4 A g-1.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have huge potential for applications in large-scale energy storage systems due to their low cost and abundant sources. It is essential to develop new electrode materials for SIBs with high performance in terms of energy density, cycle life, and cost. Metal binary compounds that operate through conversion reactions hold promise as advanced anode materials for sodium storage. This Review highlights the storage mechanisms and advantages of conversion-type anode materials and summarizes their recent development. Although conversion-type anode materials have high theoretical capacities and abundant varieties, they suffer from multiple challenging obstacles to realize commercial applications, such as low reversible capacity, large voltage hysteresis, low initial coulombic efficiency, large volume changes, and low cycling stability. These key challenges are analyzed in this Review, together with emerging strategies to overcome them, including nanostructure and surface engineering, electrolyte optimization, and battery configuration designs. This Review provides pertinent insights into the prospects and challenges for conversion-type anode materials, and will inspire their further study.

Abstract
Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted increasing attentions as promising alternatives to lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, we design and synthesize ultrasmall MnO nanoparticles (∼4 nm) supported on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NDCT@MnO) as promising anode materials of SIBs. It is revealed that the carbonization temperature can greatly influence the structural features and thus the Na-storage behavior of the NDCT@MnO nanocomposites. The synergetic interaction between MnO and NDCT in the NDCT@MnO nanocomposites provides high rate capability and long-term cycling life due to high surface area, electrical conductivity, enhanced diffusion rate of Na+ ions, and prevented agglomeration and high stability of MnO nanoparticles. The resulting SIBs provide a high reversible specific capacity of 709 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.1 A g-1 and a high capacity of 536 mAh g-1 almost without loss after 250 cycles at 0.2 A g-1. Even at a high current density of 5 A g-1, a capacity of 273 mAh g-1 can be maintained after 3000 cycles.

Abstract
Pine needles are used as the precursor material to prepare hard carbon. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and N2 adsorption-desorption tests are carried out to characterize the surface, crystal, and pore structure of the material. The pine needle derived carbon (PNC) exhibits excellent Na-ion storage ability. A dual-ion battery of PNC/graphite using a Na+-based organic electrolyte is constructed. The batteries display outstanding electrochemical performance: a superior energy density (200 Wh kg-1 at 131 W kg-1), high cut-off voltage (4.7 V), and outstanding cycling stability (87.2% retention after 1000 cycles). In addition, the separate responses of the cathode and anode are investigated.

Abstract
Rational synthesis of flexible electrodes is crucial to rapid growth of functional materials for energy-storage systems. Herein, a controllable fabrication is reported for the self-supported structure of CuCo2 O4 nanodots (≈3 nm) delicately inserted into N-doped carbon nanofibers (named as 3-CCO@C); this composite is first used as binder-free anode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Benefiting from the synergetic effect of ultrasmall CuCo2 O4 nanoparticles and a tailored N-doped carbon matrix, the 3-CCO@C composite exhibits high cycling stability (capacity of 314 mA h g-1 at 1000 mA g-1 after 1000 cycles) and high rate capability (296 mA h g-1 , even at 5000 mA g-1 ). Significantly, the Na storage mechanism is systematically explored, demonstrating that the irreversible reaction of CuCo2 O4 , which decomposes to Cu and Co, happens in the first discharge process, and then a reversible reaction between metallic Cu/Co and CuO/Co3 O4 occurrs during the following cycles. This result is conducive to a mechanistic study of highly promising bimetallic-oxide anodes for rechargeable SIBs.

Abstract
The copper oxide (CuO) nanowires/functionalized graphene (f-graphene) composite material was successfully composed by a one-pot synthesis method. The f-graphene synthesized through the Birch reduction chemistry method was modified with functional group “–(CH2)5COOH”, and the CuO nanowires (NWs) were well dispersed in the f-graphene sheets. When used as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries, the composite exhibited good cyclic stability and decent specific capacity of 677 mA·h·g−1 after 50 cycles. CuO NWs can enhance the lithium-ion storage of the composites while the f-graphene effectively resists the volume expansion of the CuO NWs during the galvanostatic charge/discharge cyclic process, and provide a conductive paths for charge transportation. The good electrochemical performance of the synthesized CuO/f-graphene composite suggests great potential of the composite materials for lithium-ion batteries anodes.
