Congratulations to engineer Huixin Chen for his outstanding progress in the research of metal oxide anode materials

Important progress has been made in the research project of metal oxide anode materials jointly conducted by engineer Huixin Chen and Dr.Qiaobao Zhang of City University of Hong Kong. The related work results are described as "Graphene-encapsulated 3D Hierarchical Ternary zinc-nickel - Cobalt Oxide Microspheres Constructed from Highly Porous Ultrathin Nanosheets for Enhanced Lithium The topic "Storage" was accepted by ChemSusChem magazine and selected as the cover article. ChemSusChem is a leading interdisciplinary journal in the field of chemistry and sustainable energy research, published in 2008 by the Journal of the German Chemical Society. The 2014 impact factor of ChemSusChem is 7.657.

In order to improve the electrochemical properties of transition metal oxides, improve the cycling stability and the rate performance, the above study used simple electrostatic adsorption and chemical reduction methods to coat graphene on the surface of ternary Zn-Ni-Co oxide microspheres composed of nanoscale to form a core-shell structure. The core-shell structure formed by graphene coating metal oxides is beneficial to improve the capacity of metal oxides as negative electrode, cycling performance and rate performance. The outstanding electrochemical performance of the material can be attributed to the excellent electron transport and good stress buffering ability of the composite structure as well as the synergistic effect between the two materials.
