A self-assembled Manganese (Mn) based metal organic complex (Mn-MOC) with spherical structure was synthesized via a solvothermal reaction. The Mn-MOC precursor materials were converted to hierarchical porous Mn₃O₄/C nanospheres through thermal annealing treatment. These nanospheres exhibited a high reversible specific capacity (1237 mAh/g at 200 mA/g), excellent ratability (425 mAh/g at 4 A/g), and extremely long cycle life (no significant capacity fading after 3000 cycles at 4A/g) as an anode in lithium ion batteries. The notable capability for lithium storage is attributed to the unique porous hierarchical structure of the Mn₃O₄/C nanospheres, which consist of homogeneously distributed Mn₃O₄ nanocrystals with thin carbon shells. Such a desired nanostructure not only provided large reaction surface area and enhanced electrical conductivity, but also promoted the formation of a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and accommodated the volume change of the conversion reaction type electrode.

通过溶剂热反应合成了具有球形结构的自组装锰（Mn）基金属有机配合物（Mn-MOC）。通过热退火处理将Mn-MOC前体材料转变为分层的多孔Mn ₃ O ₄ / C纳米球。这些纳米球具有很高的可逆比容量（200 mA / g时为1237 mAh / g），出色的可扩展性（4 A / g时为425 mAh / g）和极长的循环寿命（在4A / g）作为锂离子电池的阳极。锂的显着存储能力归因于Mn ₃ O ₄ / C纳米球独特的多孔分层结构，该结构由均匀分布的Mn ₃ O _4组成具有薄碳壳的纳米晶体。这种期望的纳米结构不仅提供了较大的反应表面积和增强的电导率，而且促进了稳定的固体电解质中间相（SEI）的形成并适应了转化反应型电极的体积变化。
