Popis: The biotemplate and bioconversion strategy represents a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to material manufacturing. In the current study, biogenic manganese oxide aggregates of the Mn2+-oxidizing bacterium Pseudomonas sp. T34 were used as a precursor to synthesize a biocomposite that incorporated Co (CMC-Co) under mild shake-flask conditions based on the biomineralization process of biogenic Mn oxides and the characteristics of metal ion subsidies. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, phase composition and fine structure analyses demonstrated that hollow MnO/C/Co3O4 multiphase composites were fabricated after high-temperature annealing of the biocomposites at 800°C. The cycling and rate performance of the prepared anode materials for lithium-ion batteries were compared. Due to the unique hollow structure and multiphasic state, the reversible discharge capacity of CMC-Co remained at 650 mAh g–1 after 50 cycles at a current density of 0.1 Ag–1, and the coulombic efficiency remained above 99% after the second cycle, indicating a good application potential as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries.
