摘要

Gallium nitride (GaN) exhibits high theoretical capacity and low discharge potential, but unsatisfactory cycle performance resulting from the low conduction restrict its utilization in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this work, Ni-substituted GaN nanowires (Ni-GaN NWs) were successfully prepared a chemical vapor deposition method. The as-prepared Ni-GaN NWs display modified surface electronic structure resulting from the generated defects and lattice strain, which is favorable of the rapid ions transfer. Notably, this Ni-GaN NWs electrode material exhibits a high capacity of 660.8 mAh g−1 at 0.1 A g−1 running 400 cycles. This work provides the possibility to fabricate high-performance GaN-based LIB anode materials.
