摘要
Germanium coatings as an anode material of lithium-ion batteries have been deposited on electrodeposited nickel nanocone-arrays by very high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The morphologies of the obtained nanostructures were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy in detail. The electrochemical performance was evaluated by a galvanostatic battery testing. It was shown that the anode exhibits a stable capacity of 590 mAh/g at a rate of C/10. A reversible specific capacity is retained to be 468 mAh/g at a rate of C/2 after 50 cycles, which is close to the value of the second cycle. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
