The rapid development of today's society has put forward higher requirements for energy storage devices with higher energy density, higher power density, and higher cycle life. As a mature high-efficiency energy storage device, the structural characteristics of the anode material of lithium-ion batteries have a crucial impact on the overall performance of the battery. Metal compounds with relatively high theoretical specific capacity have become a very promising anode material for the new generation of Li-ion batteries. However, their large volume expansion and poor electrical conductivity have severely restricted their rapid development. In this paper, we mitigate the problems of large volume expansion and poor electrical conductivity of metal compounds by compounding them with carbon-based conductive materials. We use a rapid preparation method of rGO-based flexible self-supporting film electrode by compounding Co-MOF with graphene oxide and use the etching effect of ammonium sulfide on Co-MOF combined with the heat treatment process to rapidly prepare CoO@rGO flexible self-supporting film composite with hollow porous structure. This unique hollow porous structure can effectively shorten the ion transport path and provide more active sites for lithium ions. The high conductivity of reduced graphene oxide further facilitates the rapid charge transfer and provides sufficient buffer space for the hollow Co-MOF nanocubes. Thanks to the synergistic effect of hollow porous structure and 3D reduced graphene oxide network, this would be a promising new strategy for synthesizing hollow porous structured rGO-based self-supported flexible electrodes.
