ZnMn2O4 electrode materials were prepared by directly roasting mixed liquid with sucrose as the soft template. The influences of the amounts of sucrose on the structure, morphology and lithium storage properties of the synthesized ZnMn2O4 electrode materials were studied by XRI). FESEM, and electrochemical performance tests. When the molar ratio of Zn2+ to sucrose in the raw materials was 1:1.5. the prepared ZnMn2O4 sample showed a mixed morphology of irregular particles and nano-sheets. and exhibited the best lithium storage performance. The reversible capacity could reach 575 mAh/g after 200 cycles at 0.5 A/g current density. E-ven at the high current density of 5 A/g. it still delivered a reversible capacity of 295 mAh/g. The electrochemical reaction kinetic analysis showed that the ZMO-1.5 electrode had the lowest electrochemical reaction resistance and the highest lithium ion diffusion coefficient. This study was expected to provide guidance and theoretical reference for the facile and low-cost preparation of high performance ZnMn2O4 electrode materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
