Rising interest in lightweight, thin, and flexible energy storage devices has led to numerous studies that aim to fulfill the special needs of next-generation, high-performance flexible electronics. In this study, flower-ike ZnCo2O4 nanowires are fabricated by a facile hydrothermal method followed by heat treatment in air at 400 degrees C. The structures and morphologies of as-prepared ZnCo2O4 nanowires are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The data indicate that the as-synthesized flower-like ZnCo2O4 nanowires are approximately 2.5 mu m in length and range from 50 nm to 150 nm in diameter. The as-prepared flower-like ZnCo2O4 nanowire products are evaluated as anode materials for lithium-ion battery application. The special structural features of ZnCo2O4 nanowires, including high coating uniformity, high coating density, and porous architecture, exert a significant effect on the electrochemical performance of the nanowires. The discharge capacity of ZnCo2O4 flower-ike nanowires can reach first discharge capacity at 1430 mA h g(-1) to similar to 900 mA h g(-1) after 50 discharge-charge cycles at a current density of 200 mA g(-1), indicating its potential applications for next-generation, high-performance flexible electronics. High battery performance is mainly attributed to the dense and porous nanowire structures composed of interconnected ZnCo2O4 nanoparticles, which provide good electrolyte diffusion and large electrode-electrolyte contact area while reducing volume change during the charge-discharge process. The fabricated electrode can be used to light up commercial light emitting diodes.
