Graphical Abstract

Abstract

We synthesized Cu3.8Ni/CoO and Cu3.8Ni/MnO nanoparticles via an easy and scalable solution synthesis. The synthesized Cu3.8Ni/CoO and Cu3.8Ni/MnO nanoparticles were annealed to remove the organic surfactants without phase transitions or side reactions. Electrons can be transferred via metallic Cu3.8Ni, which will not react with lithium ions. The heterogeneous structures of Cu3.8Ni/CoO and Cu3.8Ni/MnO nanoparticles could enhance the lithium ion mobility and improve the life cycle, and these materials are therefore promising candidates as high- power-density and high-energy-density anode materials for lithium-ion batteries in diverse applications, such as electrical vehicles.
