The preparation of NiV3O8/Ni composite via an in situ corrosion method and its use as a new sort of anode material for Li-ion batteries

A NiV3O8/Ni composite was successfully prepared via a novel in situ corrosion method, which shows good electrochemical performance as a new sort of anode for Li-ion batteries. After 60 cycles at various rates from 0.1 to 20 C, the discharge capacity can be restored when the charge-discharge rate is lowered to 0.1 C.
