| Description | $ZnFe_{2}O_{4}$ 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 $ZnFe_{2}O_{4}$ while charging and discharging is limited by its volume growth. In the present study, carbon-coated $ZnFe_{2}O_{4}$ is synthesized by the sol–gel method. Carbon is coated on the spherical surface of $ZnFe_{2}O_{4}$ 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 $ZnFe_{2}O_{4}$ show good electrochemical performance. After 50 cycles at a current density of 0.1 $A·g^{−1}$, the battery had a discharge capacity of 1312 $mAh·g^{−1}$ and a capacity of roughly 1220 $mAh·g^{−1}$. The performance of carbon-coated $ZnFe_{2}O_{4}$ as an improved anode is electrochemically used for Li-ion energy storage applications. |
