| description | ZnFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> as an anode that is believed to attractive. Due to its large theoretical capacity, this electrode is ideal for Lithium-ion batteries. However, the performance of ZnFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> while charging and discharging is limited by its volume growth. In the present study, carbon-coated ZnFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> is synthesized by the sol–gel method. Carbon is coated on the spherical surface of ZnFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> by in situ coating. In situ carbon coating alleviates volume expansion during electrochemical performance and Lithium-ion mobility is accelerated, and electron transit is accelerated; thus, carbon-coated ZnFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> show good electrochemical performance. After 50 cycles at a current density of 0.1 A·g<sup>−1</sup>, the battery had a discharge capacity of 1312 mAh·g<sup>−1</sup> and a capacity of roughly 1220 mAh·g<sup>−1</sup>. The performance of carbon-coated ZnFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> as an improved anode is electrochemically used for Li-ion energy storage applications. |
