Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted great attention in the field of energy conversion and storage due to their high specific surface area and permanent porosity. In this study, MnO/C nanocomposites with regular octahedral shape were synthesized from a Mn-based MOF precursor. The nanocomposites exhibited MnO nanocages with a diameter of approximately 20 nm, composed of MnO nanoparticles with a diameter of approximately 2 nm. These nanocages showed a single crystal structure and were dispersed in a microporous carbon matrix. The as-prepared MnO/C nanocomposites demonstrated a decrease in specific surface area and an increase in total pore volume compared to the precursor. When used as an electrode for supercapacitors, the nanocomposites exhibited a high specific capacitance and good cycle stability.
As ordered porous materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted tremendous attention in the field of energy conversion and storage due to their high specific surface area, permanent porosity, and tunable pore sizes. Here, MOF-derived MnO/C nanocomposites with regular octahedral shape were synthesized using a Mn-based analogue of the MIL-100 framework (Mn-MIL-100, MIL: Material Institut Lavoisier) as the precursor. Using aberration-corrected environmental transmission electron microscopy (ETEM), MnO nanocages with a diameter of approximately 20 nm were recognized in the MnO/C nanocomposites fabricated, dispersed in a microporous carbon matrix homogeneously. The nanocages are composed of MnO nanoparticles with a diameter of approximately 2 nm and with a single crystal structure. The specific surface area of the as-prepared MnO/C octahedra decreases to 256 m(2) g(-1) from 507 m(2) g(-1) of the Mn-MIL-100 precursor, whereas the total pore volume increases to 0.245 cm(3) g(-1), which is approximately 29% higher than that of the precursor (0.190 cm(3) g(-1)). Additionally, when utilized as an electrode for supercapacitors, the MOF-derived MnO/C nanocomposite demonstrates a towering specific capacitance of 421 F g(-1) at 0.5 A g(-1) and good cycle stability (94%) after 5000 cycles. Our work reveals that the MnO nanoparticles in MOF-derived MnO/C nanocomposites exhibit nanocage structure characteristics, which might be inherited from the Mn-MIL-100 precursor with analogous supertetrahedron units.
