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}]O₂ 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. %A D Di Lecce %A P Andreotti %A M Boni %A G Gasparro %A G Rizzati %A J-Y Hwang %A Y-K Sun %A J Hassoun %P 3225-3232 %I AMER CHEMICAL SOC
