Abstract

CoO/CoFe(2)O(4) nanocomposites, derived from scalably prepared CoFe-layered double hydroxide (CoFe-LDH) single-resource precursors, exhibit tunable cycle performances and rate capabilities, which are supported by the homogenous dispersion of bi-component active CoO and CoFe(2)O(4) phases.
