✦ Synopsis
MnO/C core-shell nanorods were synthesized by an in situ reduction method using MnO 2 nanowires as precursor and block copolymer F127 as carbon source. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy analysis indicated that a thin carbon layer was coated on the surfaces of the individual MnO nanorods. The electrochemical properties were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge techniques. The as-prepared MnO/C core-shell nanorods exhibit a higher specific capacity than MnO microparticles as anode material for lithium ion batteries.

A three-dimensional ordered macroporous (3DOM) cobalt ferrite (CoFe 2 O 4 ) was prepared using polystyrene (PS) colloidal crystal template. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrographs showed that the as-prepared CoFe 2 O 4 material had a typical
