Manganese monoxide (MnO) is a promising anode material for lithium ion batteries, but it often shows poor electrochemical performance due to some inevitable drawbacks including intrinsic low electrical conductivity, poor stability, and severe polarization. In this work, a 1D core‐shell MnO@S, N co‐doped carbon material (MnO@SNC) was obtained by pyrolysis of MnO 2 @PPy precursor at 600 °C in N 2 atmosphere. When evaluated as an anode for lithium ion batteries, the unique structure and composition advantages endow the as‐formed material with excellent lithium storage performance in terms of high specific capacity (955.5 mAh g −1 at a current density of 500 mA g −1 ), long‐term cycling stability (up to 500 cycles), and superior rate capability (458.7 mAh g −1 at a current density of 2 A g −1 ). The outstanding electrochemical performance could be attributed to the unique 1D core‐shell structure, abundant graphited carbon and MnO nanorods.
