Ultrafast synthesis of single-phase Mn1−xCoxCO3/GO with enhanced electrochemical performance for lithium-ion batteries

Transition metal carbonates (TMCs) were studied as anode material for lithium-ion battery (LIB) by virtue of the high capacity; however, low ionic conductivity, poor electronic conductivity, and unstable cycle performances hindered their applications. Therefore, in this work, single-phase Mn1−xCoxCO3 and graphene oxide composites were synthesized by an ultrafast low temperature reaction route assisted with microwave. A high specific capacity of...
