▎ 摘　　要

A novel metal-organic-framework (MOF) composition-tuning strategy has been developed for the synthesis of well-defined hierarchical structures, which is based on reactivity modification of the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-67. Typically, 1D ZIF-67@Ni-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (ZIF-67@Ni-BTC) nanorods are obtained, which can be easily transformed into 1D graphene-coated NiCo2O4 (NiCo2O4@graphene) nanorods by an annealing treatment in an argon atmosphere, followed by oxidation in ambient air. By controlling the reaction time, novel structures such as hollow ZIF-67@Ni-BTC polyhedra and hollow ZIF-67@Ni-BTC polyhedra/ZIF-67@Ni-BTC nanorods can also be achieved. By virtue of the advantages of the structure and graphene coating, NiCo2O4@graphene nanorods as lithium storage materials exhibit high Li-storage capacity, excellent rate capability and remarkable cycling stability.
