The as-prepared CoZn-ZIF shows a high reversible capacity of 605.8 mA b g-i at a current density of 100 mA g^-1, far beyond the performance of the corresponding monometallic Co-ZIF- 67 and Zn-ZIF-8. Ex-situ synchrotron soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and electron paramagnetic resonance techniques were employed to explore the Li^storage mechanism. The superior performance of CoZn-ZIF over Co-ZIF-67 and Zn-ZIF-8 could be mainly attributed to lithiation and delithiation of nitrogen atoms, accompanied by the breakage and recoordination of metal nitrogen bond. Morever, a few metal nitrogen bonds without recoordination will lead to the amorphization of CoZn-ZIF and the formation of few nitrogen radicals.展开更多

文摘In this work, a bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate framework （ZIF） CoZn-ZIF was synthesized via a facile sol-vothermal approach and applied in lithiumion batteries.
