An insight into the pyrolysis process of metal–organic framework templates/precursors to construct metal oxide anode materials for lithium-ion batteries

Two types of MOFs from the same linkers were selected as precursors to obtain Co₃O₄ nanomaterials. The structure and component evolution in the pyrolysis process were analyzed to illustrate the structure–activity relationship for the design of Co₃O₄-based anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
