Abstract

Mixed / composite oxides of transition metals with microsphere structures have promising potentials for different applications but their preparation still remain a big challenge. Herein, a facile hydrothermal method was developed to construct Mn-modified porous carbon microspheres. The composition of the porous carbon microsphere structure can be adjusted by controlling the composition of the precursors using glucose and MnO2 as raw materials. The precursors were heat-treated at 120°C, 150°C, and 180°C, respectively. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The optimum conditions of the measurement is 180 °C for 24 h and the specific surface area of as – prepared porous carbon microspheres is 93 m2/g. The improvement of mixed / composite oxides of transition metals preparation with a morphology of carbon-coated spherical materials exhibit a great potential application in new materials field.
