Abstract

A facile one-step hydrothermal method has been adopted to directly synthesize the CuCo S material on the surface of Ni foam. Due to the relatively large specific surface area and wide pore size distribution, the CuCo S material not only effectively increases the reactive area, but also accommodates more side reaction products to avoid the difficulty of mass transfer. When evaluated as anode for Li-ion batteries, the CuCo S material exhibits excellent electrochemical performance including high discharge capacity, outstanding cyclic stability and good rate performance. At the current density of 200 mA·g , the CuCo S material shows an extremely high initial discharge capacity of 2510 mAh·g , and the cycle numbers of the material even reach 83 times when the discharge capacity is reduced to 500 mAh·g . Furthermore, the discharge capacity can reach 269 mAh·g at a current of 2000 mA·g . More importantly, when the current density comes back to 200 mA·g , the discharge capacity could be recovered to 1436 mAh·g , suggesting an excellent capacity recovery characteristics.
