Research paper thumbnail of MnO quantum dots embedded in carbon nanotubes as excellent anode for lithium-ion batteries

The strong N 2 evolution resulting from the explosive decomposition of the porogen LiN 3 and oxidation diffusion of MnCl 2 during the heat treatment are found to be responsible for the formation of the hierarchy structure. As binder-free anodes, the composite networks displayed extraordinary LIBs performance with good reversible capacity (as high as ∼1100 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1), high coulombic efficiency, outstanding rate capability and superior cyclic performance (nearly no capacity fading after 200 cycles at a high current density of 3000 mA g-1), owing to the unique combination of ultra-small MnO QDs and stable CNTs with excellent transport properties. This shows MnO QDs@CNTs composites are almost the most efficient MnO-based anode materials for LIBs so far.
