Description

Highlights: • Fluorinated-Mn3O4 nanospheres have been prepared from electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD). • Innovatively, fluorination process is able to tune the general physico-chemistry of Mn3O4. • Fluorination process leads to enhanced capacity, rate capability, cyclability and charge-transport properties. • F-Mn3O4 serves as a low-cost, high-performing anode material for lithium-ion batteries.
