A review on the synthesis of manganese oxide nanomaterials and their applications on lithium-ion batteries

Abstract

Most recently, manganese oxides nanomaterials, including MnO and MnO 2, have attracted great interest as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for their high theoretical capacity, environmental benignity, low cost, and special properties. Up to now, manganese oxides nanostructures with excellent properties and various morphologies have been successfully synthesized. Herein, we provide an in-depth discussion of recent development of the synthesis of manganese oxides nanomaterials and their application in the field of LIBs. © 2013 Xiaodi Liu et al.
