Well-dispersed bi-component-active CoO/CoFe2O4 nanocomposites with tunable performances as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries

CoO/CoFe2O4 nanocomposites, derived from scalably prepared CoFe-layered double hydroxide (CoFe-LDH) single-resource precursors, exhibit tunable cycle performances and rate capabilities, which are supported by the homogenous dispersion of bi-component active CoO and CoFe2O4 phases.
