Abstract As anode electrode material of lithium-ion battery, ZnO has the problems of poor cycle stability and rate performance. In order to improve the lithium storage performance of ZnO, researchers try to modify it, including structural optimization and composite material modification, but there are usually complex problems in the preparation process. In this experiment, zinc oxide@three-dimensional reticulated carbon composite (ZnO@C) was prepared by a simple pyrolysis method using zinc stearate as the precursor and pyrolysis in inert atmosphere. Then, the physical properties of the composite were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectrometer (Raman) and thermogravimetry (TGA), and the in-situ growth process was discussed. ZnO@C, as the anode material of lithium-ion battery, has good cycle stability and rate performance. When the current density is 100 mA/g, it still has a reversible capacity of 369 mAh/g after 60 cycles. The better lithium storage performance of ZnO@C is mainly attributed to its unique structure. The three-dimensional mesh carbon interpenetrated in ZnO particles not only enhances the conductivity of the material and improves the electrode rate performance, but also effectively alleviates the electrode material pulverization caused by volume expansion/contraction during the charging and discharging process of ZnO, and improves the electrode cycle stability.
