XRD, SEM, and HRTEM were used to investigate the composition and microstructure of the material. Together with the facile strain relaxation during structure and volume change upon cycling, this plate-like structure of ZnO is favorable for physical and chemical interactions with lithium ions because of its large contact area with the electrolyte, providing more active sites and short diffusion distances.The resulting hexagonal ZnO nanoplates electrode exhibited good cyclability and delivered a reversible discharge capacity of 368mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at 0.1 C.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United StatesLithium-ion batterieshybrid electrical vehicleselectrical vehiclesResearch Subject Categories::TECHNOLOGY::Electrical engineering, electronics and photonicsArticle
