Abstract

Abstract Single‐, double‐, and triple‐shelled hollow spheres assembled by Co 3 O 4 nanosheets are successfully synthesized through a novel method. The possible formation mechanism of these novel structures was investigated using powder X‐ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopies, Fourier transform IR, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Both poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) soft templates and the formation of cobalt glycolate play key roles in the formation of these novel multishelled hollow structures. When tested as the anode material in lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs), these multishelled microspheres exhibit excellent cycling performance, good rate capacity, and…
