Validation of green composite containing nanocrystalline Mn₂O₃ and biocarbon derived from human hair as a potential anode for lithium-ion batteries

Abstract

A new green composite of nanocrystalline Mn₂O₃, <italic>viz.</italic>Mn₂O₃/HHC containing biocarbon derived from human hair, has been exploited for the first time as an anode that demonstrates superior capacity and rate capability in lithium-ion batteries.
