Abstract

The Co3O4 nanorod bundles are synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The samples are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction (ED), X-ray powder diffractometer (XRD), and nitrogen adsorption. It is important that the as-obtained Co3O4 nanorod bundles are assembled by nanoparticles. The porous nanorod bundle electrode exhibits a higher rate capacity and a higher reverse capability for lithium ion battery than the solid nanorods, which is attributed to the high surface area and the porous structure. © 2012 World Scientific Publishing Company.
