In this work, MnO/C cubo-polyhedrons were successfully constructed with carbonizing alpha-MnO2@ZIF-8 precursors synthesized using sea urchin shaped alpha-MnO2 microspheres as a template. The as-prepared samples possess an irregular polyhedral cubic structure matrix coated with a thin carbon layer, characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). When exploited as an anode material for LIBs, MnO/C cubo-polyhedrons exhibit a high initial specific capacity of 1217.5 mA h g(-1) at a current density of 0.1 A g(-1), outstanding long cycling performance with a reversible capacity of 1308 mA h g(-1) at 0.2 A g(-1) for the 500th cycle and superior rate performance. Thus, MnO/C cubo-polyhedrons provide a new insight into the development of anode materials for next-generation high performance lithium ion batteries.
