Abstract

Nanorods of MnO₂, Mn₃O₄, Mn₂O₃ and MnO are synthesized by hydrothermal reactions and subsequent annealing. It is shown that though different oxides experience distinct phase transition processes in the initial discharge, metallic Mn and Li₂O are the end products of discharge, while MnO is the end product of recharge for all these oxides between 0.0 and 3.0 V vs. Li⁺/Li. Of these 4 manganese oxides, MnO is believed the most promising anode material for lithium ion batteries while MnO₂ is the most promising cathode material for secondary lithium batteries.
