Electrochemical Sodiation/Desodiation into Mn₃O₄ Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Mn₃O₄ is considered to be a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) because of its low cost, high capacity, and enhanced safety. However, the inferior cyclic stability of the Mn₃O₄ anode is a major challenge for the development of SIBs. In this study, a one-step solvothermal method was established to produce nanostructured Mn₃O₄ with an average particle size of 21 nm and a crystal size of 11 nm. The Mn₃O₄ obtained exhibits a unique architecture, consisting of small clusters composed of numerous tiny nanoparticles. The Mn₃O₄ material could deliver high capacity (522 mAh g^-1 at 100 mA g^-1), reasonable cyclic stability (158 mAh g^-1 aft
