Abstract

KMn8O16 nanorods were synthesized via a reflux method with MnSO4·H2O and KMnO4 as reactants and SnCl4·5H2O as dopant. The microstructures and morphologies of the KMn8O16 nanorods and Sn4+-doped KMn8O16 nanorods were characterized using XRD, BET, SEM, EDX, and TEM. The electrochemical measurements demonstrated that ion-doped KMn8O16 nanorods (molar ratio of Sn4+ and KMn8O16 is 0.03) presented a much higher reversible discharge capacity (151.4 mAh g−1) and went up to a discharge capacity of 159.1 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles, compared with non-doped KMn8O16 nanorods (129.8 mAh g−1) as cathode materials in lithium-ion battery (LIB). These results demonstrate that the Sn4+ doping on the crystal structure of KMn8O16 can enhance the electrochemical property of material during the charging and discharging process.
