Carbon nanotube (CNT) wired and oxygen-deficient MoO3鈭?em>x/CNT structures are fabricated via a facile hydrothermal reaction followed by controlled reduction in Ar/H2. The MoO3鈭?em>x/CNT, which consists of 63聽mol% MoO3 and 37聽mol% MoO2, exhibits a much improved Li-storage property compared with the original MoO3/CNT structure when evaluated as an anode in the 0.05-3.0聽V region. It is able to retain a capacity of 421聽mAh聽g鈭? towards Li after 100 cycles at 200聽mA聽g鈭?, and deliver 293 and 202聽mAh聽g鈭? at current densities of 2 and 4聽A聽g鈭?, respectively. It is suggested that the formation and recovery of a metallic MoO2 phase over the conversion reaction may account for the enhanced performance.
