  5. Part 1: Co3O4 nanowire arrays for Li-ion anode Transition metal oxides such as CoO, Co3O4, NiO, FeO, Fe3O4 Mechanism: CoO + 2Li+ +2e- Li2O + Co - Poizot, P. et al, Nature407, 496 (2000). - M. Armond & J.-M. Tarascon, Nature 451, 652 (2008).

  6. Advantages of NW arrays for battery electrode: • Small size --- short Li+ ion diffusion length in electrode materials; • High surface area --- low current density; • Accommodation of strain --- long cycle life; • Easy mass transport for electrolyte solution; • Direct contact with current collecting substrate. • No inactive materials. • Advantages for other applications: • Decouple the direction of light absorption from charge separation; • Antireflection for efficient light absorption;

  7. NH3 Co3O4 nanowire arrays: an ammonia-evaporation-induced method Co2+ + 6 NH3 Co(NH3)62+ Co(NH3)62+ + 2 OH-  Co(OH)2 + 6 NH3 6 Co(OH)2 + O2  2 Co3O4 + 6 H2O • Advantages: • mild, facile, and large-area growth; • direct growth on conducting substrate; --- Y.

  14. Summary • A facile method has been developed for synthesizing Co3O4 nanowire arrays; • These Co3O4 nanowire arrays have been shown to possess large capacity and rate capability; • Graphene-based composites have been developed to reduce carbon loading and thus increase the overall energy density of the electrode.
