Herein, the electrochemical performance and the energy storage mechanism of different forms of manganese oxides as the cathode materials for aqueous zinc batteries and the issues of the zinc anode, the aqueous electrolyte and the separator are elaborated.
(a) The power density and areal capacity. (b) The voltage and specific capacity. Zinc–manganese primary batteries under an alkaline medium have dominated the battery market for several decades. However, the poor stability of the positive electrode and the zinc dendrites are always the critical issues that prevent them becoming rechargeable.
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.
Conclusions The aqueous zinc ion battery with manganese-based oxide as the cathode material has attracted more and more attention due to its unique features of low cost, convenience of preparation, safety, and environmentally friendliness.
This review focuses on the electrochemical performance of manganese oxides with different crystal polymorphs in the secondary aqueous zinc ion batteries and their corresponding mechanism, the recent investigation of the zinc anode, the aqueous electrolyte, and the effect of the separator, respectively.
Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) rely on a lithium-ion-like Zn 2+ -shuttle, which enables higher roundtrip efficiencies and better cycle life than zinc-air batteries. Manganese-oxide cathodes in near-neutral zinc sulfate electrolytes are the most prominent candidates for ZIBs.

Zinc–carbon battery
Old 3 V zinc–carbon battery (around 1960), with cardboard casing housing two cells in series. By 1876, the wet Leclanché cell was made with a compressed block of manganese dioxide. In 1886, Carl Gassner patented a "dry" version by using a casing made of zinc sheet metal as the anode and a paste of plaster of Paris (and later, graphite powder).
