title: Graphene-wrapped MnO2 -graphene nanoribbons as anode materials for high-performance lithium ion batteries.
abstract: A facile and cost-effective approach for the fabrication of a hierarchical nanocomposite material of graphene-wrapped MnO2 -graphene nanoribbons (GMG) is developed. The resulting composite has a high specific capacity and an excellent cycling stability owing to the synergistic combination of the electrically conductive graphene, graphene nanoribbons, and MnO2 .
