Abstract

Hollow microspheres composed of phase-pure ZnFe₂O₄ nanoparticles (hierarchically structured) have been prepared by hydrothermal reaction. The unique hollow spherical structure significantly increases the specific capacity and improves capacity retention of this material. The product of each phase transition during initial discharge (ZnFe₂O₄ Li_0.5ZnFe₂O₄ Li₂ZnFe ₂O₄ → Li₂O + Li-Zn + Fe) and their structural reversibility are recognized by X-ray diffraction and electrochemical characterization. The products of the deeply discharged (Li-Zn alloy and Fe) and recharged materials (Fe₂O₃) were clarified based on high resolution transmission electron microscopic technique and first-principle calculations.
