Abstract
The mesoporous MnCo2O4/polypyrrole (PPy) composites have been successfully fabricated through three facile steps, solvothermal synthesis, calcination treatment and subsequent in-situ chemical polymerization. The mesoporous MnCo2O4/PPy displays good electrochemical performance in terms of high reversible capacity, good rate performance, and excellent stability. The high discharge capacity of 910 mAh gâ1 is achieved after 100 cycles at the current density of 200 mA gâ1. The reversible capacity still remains as high as 598 mAh gâ1 at the higher current density of 2000 mA gâ1. The improved electrochemical performance is mainly attributed to the mesoporous structure and the coating layer of PPy, which effectively mitigate the volume change and enable good conductivity and thus enhance fast charge transfer.
