Abstract

Zn_0.5Co_0.5O solid solution materials have been extensively studied for possible spintronic applications, however, there are only a few reports using Zn_0.5Co_0.5O nanostructures for energy storage. Here, we report the preparation of Zn_0.5Co_0.5O nanoparticles with the average particle size 10 nm and their application as anode material for rechargeable Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Electrochemical measurements demonstrate that the Zn_0.5Co_0.5O solid solution nanoparticles deliver a stable reversible capacity of 309 mA h g^-1 up to 250 cycles at 1 C rate. These results show higher-rate capability and better cycle durability compared with those of the reported ZnO or ZnO-based anodes.
