Self-assembled synthesis of diamond-like MnCo2O4 as anode active material for lithium-ion batteries with high cycling stability

The MnCo2O4 micro-octahedrons are composed of many densely compact nanoparticles bonded to each other. When used as anodes for LIBs, the MnCo2O4 micro-octahedrons electrode material exhibits a superior cycling stability of capacity (720.4 mAhg−1) at a current density of 300 mAg−1 after 200 cycles.317
