Facile synthesis of MnO multi-core@nitrogen-doped carbon shell nanoparticles for high performance lithium-ion battery anodes

Novel MnO multi-core@nitrogen-doped carbon shell nanoparticles (MCNCmSPs) were developed through a facile polydopamine adhesive-assisted compositing procedure. Owing to their advanced multi-core@shell nanostructure, the as-prepared MCNCmSPs exhibited remarkable electrochemical performance as lithium-ion battery anode.
