摘要

Manganese dioxide (MnO2) are extremely promising materials for zinc-ion batteries because of their high specific capacity, high capacity for operation, affordability, and non-toxicity. However, the low conductivity and capacity degradation issues of MnO2 limit its application. In this study, composite cathode materials of MnOx@C are designed using a strategy that combines stirring synthesis with redox reactions. This method allows for the modification of the crystal structure while simultaneously controlling the thickness of the C layer, resulting in the enhancement of both cycle stability and conductivity in MnOx@C. The MnOx@C composite shows remarkable performance in terms of current density (0.1 A g−1) and capacity (320.3 mAh g−1). Additionally, it exhibits excellent cycling stability, as evidenced by a capacity retention rate of 92% even after 1000 cycles at a current density of 1.0 A g−1. These results surpass the multiplication capability and cycling stability of MnO2, with a capacity of 254.1 mAh g−1 when a current density of 0.1 A g−1 is used. However, it only retains 70% after 1000 cycles of a current density of 1.0 A g−1. This study offers a workable strategy for creating sophisticated cathodes that will improve zinc-ion battery performance.
