“…A similar trend was also observed for other metal oxide electrodes but with a much smaller increment than the current observation [39,43]. Although the exact mechanism of such increment still remains unclear, we attributed it to the enhanced conversion reaction of MnO 2 nanoflowers experienced on the electrode.…”

A hybrid nano-urchin structure consisting of spherical onion-like carbon and MnO2 nanosheets is synthesized by a facile and environmentally-friendly hydrothermal method. Lithium-ion batteries incorporating the hybrid nano-urchin anode exhibit reversible lithium storage with superior specific capacity, enhanced rate capability, stable cycling performance, and nearly 100% Coulombic efficiency. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of designing hybrid nano-architectures with uniform and isotropic structure, high loading of electrochemically-active materials, and good conductivity for the dramatic improvement of lithium storage.

IntroductionDeveloping high-performance rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is among the most promising solutions to address the drastic increase in global demand of energy [1]. LIBs were introduced to the market in the 1990s by Sony and soon attracted a strong research interest due to their high energy density, stability, and no memory effect, as compared to other alternatives [2]. However, commercial LIBs mostly use graphite as the anode material, which possesses a relatively low theoretical specific capacity of ~372 mAh g -1 . This low capacity severely hampers the wide usage of LIBs in the surging consumer electronic devices and the large-scale energy applications such as hybrid electric vehicles, renewable power plants, and load levelling [3][4][5]. To accommodate the high-level requirements of these advanced applications, it is imperative to explore new electrode materials and novel designs for higher energy density, lower cost, flexibility, non-toxicity, and better stability.The recent advances in nanotechnology have offered a promising route to tackle these challenges [6][7][8][9]. As compared to the bulk materials, nanostructured materials possess a large surface area with excellent electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. Nanomaterials can enhance the performance of LIBs through two approaches. The first one is by using lowdimensional carbon-based nanomaterials to provide more efficient lithiation and delithiation In this work we solve these problems by fabricating the hybrid nano-urchin structure consisting of onion-like carbon/MnO 2 (OLC/MnO 2 ) using a simple and environmentallybenign hydro...

Porous MnO/C microspheres have been successfully fabricated by a fast co-precipitation method in a T-shaped microchannel reactor. The structures, compositions and electrochemical performances of the obtained MnO/C microspheres are characterized by X-ray diffraction, emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, charge-discharge testing, cyclic voltammograms, and electrochemical impedance spectra. after cycling 50 times at 1 C and capacities of 808.3, 743.7, 642.6, 450.1, at 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, and 0.2 C, respectively. Moreover, the controlled method of using a micro-channel reactor, which can produce larger specific surface area porous MnO/C with improved cycling performance by shortening lithium-ion diffusion distances, can be easily applied in real production on a large-scale.
