Abstract:

A facile method, combining hydrothermal method with the template technique, was developed to synthesize open-ends carbon nanotubes(CNTs). X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy analysis techniques were used to characterize the samples. The electrochemical properties of the as-prepared CNTs as anode materials for lithium battery were studied by galvanostatic method. Results showed that the as-prepared CNTs displayed higher capacity and superior cycle performance in comparison with the multiwalled carbon nanotubes(MWNTs).

Key words: Carbon nanotube; Lithium-ion battery; Anode material
