Ordered mesoporous metallic MoO2 materials with highly reversible lithium storage capacity.
Highly ordered mesoporous crystalline MoO(2) materials with bicontinuous Ia3d mesostructure were synthesized by using phosphomolybdic acid as a precursor and mesoporous silica KIT-6 as a hard template in a 10% H(2) atmosphere via nanocasting strategy. The prepared mesoporous MoO(2) material shows a typical metallic conductivity with a low resistivity ( approximately 0.01Omega cm at 300 K), which makes it different from all previously reported mesoporous metal oxides materials. Primary test found that mesoporous MoO(2) material exhibits a reversible electrochemical lithium storage capacity as high as 750 mA h g(-1) at C/20 after 30 cycles, rendering it as a promising anode material for lithium ion batteries.
