Devices and technologies with electrochemical energy storage and conversion have played an important role in the development of sustainable applications to mitigate the global warming and lower our dependence on fossil fuels. Manganese oxides have wide applications in a variety of electrochemical storage and conversion technologies such as lithium batteries, metal-air batteries and supercapacitors, owing to their prominent advantages including low cost, high elemental abundance, low toxicity, and abundant physicochemical properties. The effective applications of manganese oxides rely on their controllable preparation and the knowledge of structure-performance relationship. In recent years, we have developed several synthetic strategies to prepare a series of manganese oxides with micro/nanostructures and different composition, phases, valence, morphology, and size. We have systematically investigated the electrochemical performance of the as-synthesized manganese oxides as electrode materials in lithium batteries, lithium-oxygen batteries, and oxygen reduction/evolution electrocatalysis.
