Mn3O4 Octahedral Microparticles Prepared by Facile Dealloying Process as Efficient Sulfur Hosts for Lithium/Sulfur Batteries

Mn3O4 Octahedral Microparticles Prepared by Facile Dealloying Process as Efficient Sulfur Hosts for Lithium/Sulfur Batteries

A facile and industry-accepted dealloying method was used to synthesize Mn3O4 particles, which were then employed to prepare sulfur/Mn3O4 (S/Mn3O4) composites as cathode materials for lithium-sulfur batteries. The composites delivered initial discharge capacity reaching up 1184 mAh·g&...
