Coaxial MnO/N-doped carbon nanorods for advanced lithium-ion battery anodes

Abstract

N-carbon-encapsulated MnO coaxial nanorods are prepared using polypyrrole-coated MnOOH coaxial nanorods as a template and precursor. The excellent performance of coaxial nanorods is attributed to the synergistic effect of one-dimensional structure and the N-doped carbon coating.
