A facile preparation route of MnO@C composite for high lithium storage anode

High performance and easy preparation are equally important for the development of MnO anode. Herein, a facile preparation route is proposed to successfully prepare a high-performance MnO@C composite anode. The MnO@C comprises of nanosized MnO embedded within a porous carbon matrix. The findings determined by systematic study demonstrate that the porous carbon matrix not only improves structure stability but also enhances electrochemical kinetics of the nanosized MnO, ultimately resulting in outstanding electrochemical performance of the MnO@C anode for lithium -ion batteries, with 943.6 and 411.5 mAh/g after 270 and 500 cycles at 200 and 1000 mA g-1, respectively.
