Abstract

Metal–organic framework(MOF) is a kind of novel electrode materials for lithium ion batteries. Here, a composite material Co₃(HCOO)₆@rGO was synthesized for the first time by in situ loading of Co₃(HCOO)₆ on rGO (reduced oxide graphene) through a solution chemistry method. As an anode material for lithium ion batteries, it exhibited an excellent cycle stability as well as a large reversible capacity of 926 mAh·g^-1 at a current density of 500 mA·g^-1 after 100 cycles within the voltage range of 0.02 ~ 3.0 V vs. Li/Li⁺ with a good rate capability. The results of cyclic voltammetry and XPS measurements revealed that both Co²⁺ and formate ions in Co₃(HCOO)₆@rGO uderwent reversible electrochemical reactions during the charge and discharge process. Compared with Co₃(HCOO)₆ synthesized through the same method, it was found that rGO could activate the electrochemical reaction of formate ion, which improved the Co₃(HCOO)₆ rate performance.A new route was demonstrated through this work to enhance the specific capacity and rate capability of MOFs by introducing rGO.
