Preparation of novel two-stage structure MnO micrometer particles as lithium-ion battery anode materials

Abstract

MnO micrometer particles with a two-stage structure (composed of mass nanoparticles) were produced via a one-step hydrothermal method using histidine and potassium permanganate (KMnO4) as reagents, with subsequent calcination in a nitrogen (N2) atmosphere.

In situ formation of MnO@N-doped carbon for asymmetric supercapacitor with enhanced cycling performance

“…One goes to design and construct composite consisting MnO and high conductive carbon materials since the carbon materials can accelerate electron transport, improving the electronic conductivity of the whole electrode. 5 To date, various MnO@carbon composites have been reported as electrode for energy storage device. For example, 3D arrays of MnO anchored on graphene-like carbon nanosheets (3D-MnO@CNS) showed high rate capability and excellent cycling stability as anode for a hybrid capacitor.…”
