Abstract

3D hollow hybrid composites with ultrafine cobalt sulfide nanoparticles uniformly embedded within the well-graphitized porous carbon polyhedra/carbon nanotubes framework are rationally fabricated using a green and one-step method involving the simultaneous pyrolysis and sulfidation of ZIF-67. Because of the synergistic coupling effects favored by the unique nanohybridization, these composites exhibit high specific capacity, excellent cycle stability, and superior rate capability when evaluated as electrodes in lithium-ion batteries.
