Abstract

This study demonstrates the formation of a flexible and free‐standing carbon nanotube–copper oxide–poly(vinylidene fluoride) (CNT–Cu~2~O–PVDF) nanocomposite and its application as an electrode‐separator material for Li‐ion batteries. Binder‐free hybrid electrodes are obtained by conformally coating CNTs with Cu~2~O via electrodeposition and then embedding the resulting architecture into a porous poly(vinylidene fluoride‐hexafluoropropylene) PVDF‐HFP–SiO~2~ polymer electrolyte membrane. The synergistic presence of high‐capacity transition metal oxides and conductive CNTs results in twice the reversible areal capacity of 2.3 mAh cm^−2^ as compared to 1.2 mAh cm^−2^ for pure CNTs.

route [23]. After heating at 120 C for 2 days and then sintering at 750 C for 4 h, these plates were cut into small sections, which were then sintered at 900 C for 12 h to decrease the sizes of the voids. The 1.5 mm thick plates were infiltrated with nickel (ca. 100 lm) using the previously describe

## Abstract The increasing demand for portable energy has generated significant research interest in nanostructured electrode materials, because of their large interfacial contact area with the electrolyte and short path lengths for Li ion transport. To date, titanium dioxide (TiO~2~) has been wide
