title: Facile Synthesis of Porous Mn₂O₃ Microspheres as Anode Materials for Lithium Ion Batteries.
abstract: Porous Mn₂O₃ microspheres with a diameter of 0.5-2 µm were synthesized by a thermal decomposition of MnCO₃ micospheres precursor. The effects of annealing time on the morphologies and electrochemical properties of the final products were systematically investigated. The porous Mn2O₃ microspheres prepared at 600 °C for 4 h exhibit the best electrochemical properties with a high reversible capability (925 mAh/g at current density of 100 mA/g) and cycling stability. It still retains a high capacity of 565 mAh/g, even after 100 cycles, as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The good electrochemical performance for the porous Mn₂O₃microspheres can be attributed to its high surface area and mesoporous structure.
