Hierarchical MoO2/N-doped carbon heteronanowires (MoO2/N-C H-NWs) are synthesised by simple calcination using organic-inorganic hybrid nanowires as a precursor and self-template. In the heterostructure, MoO2 nanoparticles are not only anchored on but also embedded in the one-dimensional N-doped carbon matrix. The synergistic effect promotes the pseudocapacitance, decreases the charge transfer resistance, and buffers the volume change on the reaction of MoO2/N-C H-NWs with Li+. Therefore it endows the composite with enhanced kinetics and stability for reversible Li+ storage. At a current density of 2 A g(-1), the MoO2/N-C H-NWs deliver a reversible capacity of 700 mAh g(-1) after 400 cycles, which still remains 570 mAh g(-1) even after 1500 cycles. The high capability suggests that the MoO2/N-C H-NWs may be a promising candidate for use as anode material in high-performance lithium ion batteries. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
