However, these carbons generally show low tap density and minor volumetric capacity because of high specific surface area and pore volume. Combination with metal oxide is one of the expected methods to alleviate the obstacles of wood-derived carbons. In this work, the composites of Mn O loaded wood-derived carbon fibers(CF@Mn O) were prepared via a simple and environmentally friendly method, showing decreased specific surface area due to the generation of Mn O nanoparticles on carbon fibers. Furthermore, the CF@Mn O compostites exhibit superior electrochemical performance as anode materials of LIBs, which show high reversible capacity in the range of 529-734 m Ah/g at a current density of 100 m A/g. The optimal CF@Mn O product(Mn O:carbon = 1:2) delivers reversible capacity of 734 and 265.3 m Ah/g at current density of 100 and 2000 m A/g, respectively. Besides, the material presents outstanding stability with coulombic efficiency around 100% after 200 cycles at a high current density of 400 m A/g, revealing a potential as promising anode materials for high-performance LIBs.展开更多
