Abstract
We report the high performance of the manganese oxide/reduced graphene oxide (MnOx/rGO) nanocomposite as an anode electrode of a lithium-ion battery. The composite is synthesized by a low temperature (83°C) chemical solution reaction, and shows relatively high specific capacities (660mAhg−1) after 50 cycles. For MnOx/rGO composites, the cycling stability is increased remarkably as compared to that seen with individual MnOx, and this is due to the synergistic effects of both the components in the composite. The rGO acts as a conductive buffer layer that suppresses the volume change of MnOx, and simultaneously promotes the conductivity of MnOx. The functional groups of graphene oxide facilitate MnOx formation at low temperature, and this retains the MnOx-graphene oxide connection, thus improving the capacity and cycling stability.
