“…Among the various transition metal oxides, manganese oxides (MnO [5,6], MnO 2 [7,8], Mn 2 O 3 [9,10], Mn 3 O 4 [11,12]) have attracted considerable attention because of their excellent electrochemical properties. As one of the manganese oxides, hausmannite Mn 3 O 4 has high theoretical capacity, low toxicity, low price, thermal stability and natural abundance, which is a promising anode material for LIBs [13][14][15].…”
