The anode material has a partially graphitic structure and nanotube morphology, which ensure stable cycling, Coulombic efficiency exceeding 99\% as well as remarkable rate-capability in lithium half-cell, and suggest the compatibility for full-cell application. The performance of each lithium-ion array appears strongly related to the different structural, morphological and electrochemical features of the positive electrodes. The study in full-cell of the MWCNTs anode, to date mostly investigated in lithium half-cell, is therefore performed under various conditions. The MWCNTs/Li[Ni\_\{1/3\}Co\_\{1/3\}Mn\_\{1/3\}{{]}}O{$_2$} combination reveals promising behavior in terms of cycling stability, reversible capacity and Coulombic efficiency, which well demonstrates the potential suitability of MWCNTs as anodes in lithium-ion cell.}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.7b03395}, keywords = {Li-ion battery, LiCoO{$_2$}, LiFe\_\{1/4\}Mn\_\{1/2\}Co\_\{1/4\}PO{$_4$}, Li[Ni\_\{1/3\}Co\_\{1/3\}Mn\_\{1/3\}{{]}}O{$_2$}, Multiwalled carbon} }
