A novel three-dimensional (3D) flower-like ZnO@Ag composite is successfully synthesized through a simple and facile process, which is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).When evaluated as an anodic material for nickel-zinc alkaline secondary batteries, the 3D flower-like ZnO@Ag composite exhibits the high discharge capacity (627 mAh g) and long cycle life (830 cycles). The outstanding electrochemical performance is ascribed to the Ag nanoparticles enhancing electron conductivity and the uniform flower-like structure providing enough electrochemical reaction sites, so as to reduce electrode polarization and improve cell efficiency. Furthermore, the possible growth mechanism of 3D flower-like ZnO@Ag composite has been proposed. The effect of silver content on formation of ZnO@Ag composites was also investigated in detail, indicating the appropriate silver content plays a key role in forming a defined 3 D flower-like structure for the ZnO@Ag composite.
