▎ 摘  要

In this investigation, we studied the effect of the synergistic mechanism on the stability and the electronic and Li diffusion performance of a beta-MnO2 and graphene composite. The C-O covalent bonds formed in the stable interface not only improved the hybrid structure stability (a stable C-O bond forms between the beta-MnO2 (110) plane and graphene) but also led to enhanced conductivity. The calculated results implied that a possible diffusion pathway with the lowest energy barrier was found along the hybrid structure interface.
