title: Building a Ni3S2 nanotube array and investigating its application as an electrode for lithium ion batteries.
abstract: A Ni3S2 nanotube array has been synthesized on Ni foam using a template-free hydrothermal method. The Ni foam acts as both the reactant and support. The resulting architecture as an electrode for lithium ion batteries benefits from the unique morphology and exhibits excellent electrochemical performance with high capacity, long cycle life and superior rate capability.
