Recently, MnO2 has gained attention as an electrode material because of its very high theoretical capacity and abundant availability. However, the very high volumetric change caused by its conversion-type reaction results in bad reversibility of charge-discharge. In this study, delta-MnO2 of thickness 8 nm anchored on the surface of carbon nanotubes (CNT) by Mn-O-C chemical bonding is synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method. Numerous ex-situ characterizations of the lithium storage process were performed. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated that delta-MnO2 (0 1 2) thermodynamically prefers bonding with CNTs. Moreover, the interfacial interaction reinforces the connection of Mn-O and reduces the bond strength of Li-O in lithiated MnO2, which could facilitate an intercalation-type lithium storage reaction. Consequently, the as-synthesized delta-MnO2 retains an excellent reversible capacity of 577.5 mAh g(-1) in 1000 cycles at a high rate of 2 A g(-1) between 0.1V and 3.0V. The results of this study demonstrate the possibility of employing the cost-effective transition metal oxides as intercalation lithium storage dominant electrodes for advanced rechargeable batteries.
