Abstract

Zinc cobaltite ( ZnCo2O4) nanoflowers were prepared by microwave assisted liquid phase method and annealing treatment. The effects of different annealing temperatures on performance of as-prepared samples were investigated. By using X-ray diffraction ( XRD) , scanning electron microscopy ( SEM) , cyclic voltammetry ( CV) , electrochemical impedance spectroscopy ( EIS) , and galvanostatic charge and discharge, the crystal structure, morphology and electrochemical performances of as-prepared materials were characterized and analyzed. The results show that spinel-structured ZnCo2O4are prepared at different annealing temperatures.With the annealing temperatures increaseing, ZnCo2O4 nanoflowers tend to aggregate. ZnCo2O4 nanoflowers annealed at 400 ℃ exhibit optimal electrochemical performances. And it can deliver 673. 5 mA •h•g-1 after50 cycles at current density of 200 mA • g-1, corresponding to the coulombic efficiency of 97. 5%, which shows a good cycling performance and high specific charge-discharge capacity.
