Abstract:

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) compounds are compounds formed by bonding metal centers and organic ligands through coordination bonds. As a new type of porous material, it has drawn much attention of researchers in various fields due to its large specific surface area, high porosity and variety of species. In this study, MnO2@ZnO/C hybrids are rationally synthesized by using MnO2@ZIF-8 core-shell nanowires as templates. Owing to its structural and compositional characteristics, namely, the synergistic effects between components and the conductive carbon coating, the resultant MnO2@ZnO/C hybrids exhibit good electrochemical performance as an anode material in Li-ion batteries with a first discharge specific capacity of 1 873 mA$\cdot$h$\cdot$g-1 and a specific capacity of 658 mA$\cdot$h$\cdot $g-1 at a current density of 100 mA/g for 100 cycles.

Key words: metal-organic framework compounds, MnO2, ZnO/C, lithium ion batteries
