For the advancement of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), metal oxides with high theoretical specific capacities have been explored as anodes. Herein, we report a new metal oxide, Mn 2 Sb 2 O 7 -anchored reduced graphene oxide (Mn 2 Sb 2 O 7 /RGO), as an advanced anode for LIBs. The Mn 2 Sb 2 O 7 /RGO anode exhibits a higher capacity and better capacity retention compared to Mn 2 Sb 2 O 7 , because the close contact between Mn 2 Sb 2 O 7 and RGO facilitates charge transfer during cycling.The discharge capacity of Mn 2 Sb 2 O 7 /RGO reaches 706.72 mAh g À 1 at 200 mA g À 1 after 200 cycles. Even at 1000 mA g À 1 , the capacity loss per cycle of Mn 2 Sb 2 O 7 /RGO is only 0.0344 % for 600 cycles, indicating an excellent high-rate cyclic stability compared to other Sb-based oxides. These results forecast that Mn 2 Sb 2 O 7 /RGO is a potential anode for LIBs, providing a new insight into the selection of high-performance anodes.
