In　this　work,　a　scalable　approach　of　preparing　Co3O4/Co@N-C　composite　derived　from　metal　organic　frameworks　(MOFs)　is　developed.　After　consecutive　carbonization　and　oxidation　of　MOFs　at　different　calcination　temperatures,　a　series　of　nanocomposite　consisting　of　Co3O4,　conductive　Co　nanoparticles,　and　Nitrogen　doped　(N-doped)　mesoporous　carbon　are　obtained　via　in-situ　polymerization　strategy.　When　employed　as　anode　materials　for　lithium-ion　batteries　(LIBs),　the　Crystalline-Co3O4/Co@N-C-700　(Cry-Co3O4/Co@N-C-700)　electrode　has　shown　high　reversible　specific　capacity　of　896.5　mAh　g(-1)　at　0.1　A　g(-1),　excellent　rate　capability　of　376.2　mAh　g(-1)　at　a　large　current　density　of　2　A　g(-1),　and　robust　longterm　capacity　retention　rate　of　96.0%　at　0.2　A　g(-1)　after　50　cycles.　Such　superior　lithium　storage　performance　could　be　attributed　to　the　unique　porous　structure　which　composed　of　well-dispersed　Co(3)O(4)and　conductive　Co　nanoparticles　together　with　N-doped　carbon　skeleton.　The　unique　structure　can　effectively　improve　the　conductivity　and　act　as　a　buffer　medium　to　alleviate　the　volume　change,　which　shows　potential　application　for　new　energy　storage　materials.　(C)　2020　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
