    报告摘要：

　　Hollow nanostructures are promising as electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage, including lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors and lithium-sulfur batteries. In this talk, I will briefly discuss the design, synthesis and electrochemical properties of hollow nanostructures of metal oxides/sulfides. Specifically, we have been able to synthesize different hollow nanostructures of many binary metal oxides such as SnO₂, Fe₂O₃ and Fe₃O₄, and many mixed transition metal oxides/sulfides such as NiCo₂O₄ and NiCo₂S₄. We have also designed carbon hollow structures to fabricate advanced cathode materials for lithium-sulfur batteries. Most recently, we also designed some advanced hollow structures of carbon-metal oxide including MnO_x-carbon and TiO_x-carbon for lithium sulfur batteries.
