Abstract

CuFe2O4 with a tetragonally distorted spinel structure has been prepared by the thermal decomposition of a citrate precursor. The copper–iron mixed organic salt was precipitated by either water evaporation or ethanol dehydration. The level of impurities of the final products depended on the precursor precipitation route and annealing temperature. EDH(800) material performed capacity values of 520 mAh/g after 50 cycles. Electron microscopy evidenced that the extrusion of copper yielded both transition metals separately at the end of discharge.
