Abstract

Staying connected: Robust and interconnected CuO nanotube anodes were fabricated by a thermal oxidation process of spin-coated CuO nanowire networks. The CuO electrodes strongly adhered to the stainless steel foils and exhibited a high specific capacity (ca. 635 mAh g(-1)), a stable cycling (capacity retention of >99 % after 50 cycles), and excellent rate capabilities (315 mAh g(-1) at 20 C rate).
