3-D graphene cross-linked with mesoporous MnS clusters with high lithium storage capability

In this paper, 3-D graphene cross-linked with mesoporous MnS clusters (60-150 nm), composed of many nanoparticles (10-20 nm) and pores, was fabricated by a simple solvothermal method. As an anode material for lithium-ion batteries, the MnS/graphene nanocomposite exhibited high reversible capacity, good cycling performance and excellent rate capability. A specific capacity as high as 980 mA h g(-1) can be achieved at a current density of 50 mA g(-1) in the 30th cycle. (C) 2013 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
