In recent years, manganese dioxide (MnO 2)-based materials have been extensively explored as cathodes for Zn-ion batteries. Based on the research experiences of our group in the field of aqueous zinc ion batteries and combining with the latest literature of system, we systematically summarize the research progress of Zn−MnO 2 batteries.
Recently, rechargeable aqueous zinc-based batteries using manganese oxide as the cathode (e.g., MnO 2) have gained attention due to their inherent safety, environmental friendliness, and low cost.
Our optimized Zn/MnO 2 batteries demonstrate high stability, achieving a gravimetric capacity of ∼450 mAh/g (MnO 2) and 90% capacity retention. Furthermore, we systematically show the scalability of our methods, moving from a Swagelok cell prototype (3–6 mg/cm 2 of mass loading) to cylindrical-type cell (30 mg/cm 2).
These batteries can operate at unprecedentedly high temperatures of up to 55°C, while offering an energy density of 150 Wh/kg. The growing interest in rechargeable aqueous Zn/MnO 2 batteries for grid energy storage is driven by their competitive cost, safety, and capacity.
Compared with strongly acidic lead-acid batteries and strongly alkaline nickel-metal hydride batteries, zinc-based batteries mostly use mild weak acid or neutral electrolytes, which greatly reduces the corrosion resistance requirements for battery parts such as the collector and shell.
With the development of science and technology, there is an increasing demand for energy storage batteries. Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are expected to become the next generation of commercialized energy storage devices due to their advantages.
