We fabricated nickel oxide (NiO) on vertically-aligned multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) arrays (MWCNT/NiO) as an electrode for lithium-ion batteries. The specific capacity of 864.8 mAhg−1 at the rate of 143.6 mAg−1 for up to 50 cycles was achieved. Compared to the electrode based on NiO thin film o...
