In this work,we report the synthesis of one-dimensional(1-D)hierarchical NiO nanosheets covering bamboo-like amorphous CNT composites(NiO@CNT)via a facile and a low-cost solution route based on sulfonated polymeric nanotubes(PNTs)used simultaneously as both,a template,and a source of nano-structured carbon derived by a low-temperature thermal carbonization treatment.The electrochemical performance of the NiO@CNT composite electrode indicate that this novel hybrid nanostructure is potentially capable of delivering excellent reversible capacity when used as an anode material in a lithium-ion battery(LIB).
