Summary: This study presents a simple approach to construct a two-dimensional hollow carbon skeleton decorated with ultrafine Co3O4 nanoparticles. The composite, derived from a leaf-like zeolitic imidazolate framework-L (ZIF-L (Co)) via etching coordination using tannic acid (TA), possesses a unique structure consisting of a 2D carbon skeleton, ultrafine Co3O4 nanoparticles, and open channels. This structure enables enhanced electron transport, alleviated volume change, and facilitated ion diffusion, leading to superior reversible cycle performance and impressive rate property of the lithium-ion batteries assembled using this composite as the anode material. This research provides an efficient strategy for implementing transition metal oxide-based composites in energy storage applications.
