Flower-to-petal structural conversion and enhanced interfacial storage capability of hydrothermally crystallized MnCO3 via the in situ mixing of graphene oxide
Shiqiang Zhao, Fan Feng, Faqi Yu and Qiang Shen*
Graphene oxide (GO) possesses high electron conductivity and good chemical-binding ability and thus can
be used as a multifunctional additive for the preparation and application of electrode materials. As for the
hydrothermal crystallization of MnCO 3 herein, the absence of GO causes the formation of MnCO3 flower-
like architectures composed of secondary spindles, while the presence of GO induces the ower-to-petal
structural conversion and results in MnCO 3 spindle–GO composites. When applied as Li-ion battery
anodes, the composite electrode delivers an initial coulombic e ciency (CE) of 71% and a reversible
capacity of 1474 mA h g 1 in the 400th cycle, much higher than those of MnCO3 flowers (the initial CE
58%, the 400th capacity 1095 mA h g 1 ) operated under the same conditions. In particular, the
combination of discharging behavior and its di erential capacity pro le has been successfully used to
estimate the interfacial contribution fraction (42%) of the whole reversible capacity (i.e., 1474 mA h g 1 )
enhanced by the in situ mixing of 8.3 wt% GO.
