Abstract: In the last decade, large number of research has been made to increase the capacity of anodes by changing the graphite with Si or Sn and conversion based materials such as MnFe2O4 , Co3O4 , Fe2O3 and NiO etc.,. In the present work, MnFe2O4 nanoparticles has synthesized by simple solid-state method. The crystal structure of MnFe2O4 evaluated by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and its morphology invetigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and its electrochemical performance has been carried out by Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), charge-discharge and electrochemical impedance analysis (EIS). The results of charge-discharge performance showed an excellent discharge capacity of 860 mA hg-1 when tested as anode for Li-ion battery applications.
Keywords: MnFe2O4, XRD, Cyclic Voltammetry.
Scope of the Article: Automated Software Design and Synthesis
