Dispersed MnO₂ nanoparticles/sugarcane bagasse-derived carbon composite as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

ABSTRACT: Bagasse-derived carbon electrodes were developed by doping with nitrogen functional groups and compositing with high-capacity MnO₂ nanoparticles (MnO₂/NBGC). The bagasse-derived biochar was N-doped by refluxing in urea, followed by the deposition of MnO₂ nanoparticles onto its porous surface via the hydrothermal reduction of KMnO₄. Different initial KMnO₄ loading concentrations (i.e. 5, 10, 40, and 100 mM) were applied to optimize the composite morphology and the corresponding electrochemical performance. Material characterization confirmed that the carbon composite has a mesoporous structure along with the dispersion of MnO₂ nano-particles on the N-containing carbon surface. It was found that the 5-MnO_2</
