摘要: Carbon coating is an effective method to enhance the lithium storage of metal oxides, which, however, suffers from harsh conditions in high-temperature hydrolysis of organic mass at inert atmosphere and compromised capacity due to the presence of low capacity carbon. We herein report a direct assembly of ultrathin amorphous MnO2 nanosheets with thickness less than 3 nm over Fe2O3 nanospindle backbones at 95 degrees C as a mild-condition, short process, and upscalable alternative to the classic carbon-coating method. The assembly of the amorphous MnO2 nanosheets significantly increases the electrical conductivity of Fe2O3 nano spindles. When evaluated as an anode for lithium-ion batteries, the Fe2O3@amorphous MnO2 electrode shows enhanced capacity retention compared to that of the Fe2O3 nanospindle electrode. In situ transmission electron microscopy and in situ X-ray diffraction observations of the electrochemically driven lithiation/delithiation of the Fe2O3@amorphous MnO2 electrode indicate that the assembled amorphous MnO2 nanosheets are in situ transformed into a Fe-Mn-O protection layer for better electrical conductivity, uncompromised Li+ penetration, and enhanced structural integration. The Fe2O3@amorphous MnO2 electrode therefore has a reversible capacity of 555 mAh g(-1) after 100 galvanostatic charge/discharge cycles at 1000 mA g(-1), comparable with that of the Fe3O4@C electrode derived via the classic carbon-coating route.
