Abstract MnC2O4 is a promising anode material for high-energy lithium-ion batteries due to its low cost and high capacity. However, its application is limited by the poor cyclic-stability and rate performance caused by its low conductivity. Herein, mesoporous MnC2O4 nanorod/rGO composite is prepared via precipitation followed by a reflux reduction process, where MnC2O4 nanorods are attached to the surface of graphene through electrostatic adsorption. This composite delivers a discharge capacity of 1082, 964, and 808 mAh·g-1 after 200 cycles at 3, 5, and 8 C, respectively. The good electrochemical performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect between mesoporous nanorods and rGO. This synergistic effect not only offers high conductivity, nanoparticles, and abundant mesopores to accelerate electrode kinetics but also provides a more stable structure to reduce the volume effect during the charge/discharge process. Therefore, mesoporous MnC2O4 nanorod/rGO composite can find a potential application in high-energy lithium-ion batteries.

Silicon would seem to be a possible candidate to replace graphite or carbon as anode materials for lithium ion batteries based on its potential high capacity of 4200 mAhg-1. The main problem that must be solved for commercial application of silicon as anode material was the poor cyclic performance due to severe volume expansion during repeated charged-discharged cycles and its low electrical conductivity. In this work, we proposed Phosphorus doped (P-doped) Si films as anodes in lithium ion batteries. The electrochemical properties of the silicon based electrodes were examined by means of charge-discharge and impedance test. In comparison with the bare silicon electrode, the P type silicon electrode exhibited higher specific capacity of 2585 mAhg-1 until the 50th cycle. It was attributed to the improved electrical conductivity of Si film and reduced charge transfer resistance

This work studies LiMn 2 O 4 in an over-discharged condition. Electrochemical measurement shows that the LiMn 2 O 4 electrode undergoes an irreversible electrochemical reduction process where its structure is permanently destroyed during over-discharge. Although LiMn 2 O 4 shows a poor over-discharge durance with a reduction starting at 2.5 V vs. Li/Li+ , the galvanostatic test indicates that LiMn 2 O 4 can be considered to be used as a high capacity anode material for lithium ion batteries with an initial charge capacity of 814 mAh ⋅ g-1 and 452 mAh ⋅ g-1 at the 100th cycle.
