N-doped MnO/C submicron particles enabling long-cycle sodium-ion battery anodes
摘要
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have garnered significant research interest due to the natural abundance of sodium reserves and their marked cost advantage for large-scale energy storage system deployment. In this study, N-doped MnO/C submicron particles(N-MnO/C) have been successfully prepared via a hydrothermal method and subsequent calcination in nitrogen gas (N2), and employed as an anode material for SIBs, the N-MnO/C electrode delivers a high reversible capacity of 130 mA h g–1 at 100 mA g−1 after 100 cycles, and long-term cycling performance of 43 mA h g–1 at 3 A g−1 after 3000 cycles synchronized with ~ 100% coulombic efficiency, demonstrating the sample can be as a high-performance potential anode material for SIBs.
