摘要

The development of high-performance cathode materials is critical for advancing aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) as sustainable energy storage systems. In this work, we report the synthesis and comprehensive characterization of a manganese dioxide–manganese vanadium oxide (MnO2/MVO) composite as a novel cathode material for AZIBs. The composite was fabricated via a controlled two-step hydrothermal process, resulting in the successful incorporation of MnV2O6 into α-MnO2 nanorod frameworks without compromising phase purity. Detailed structural, morphological, and electrochemical investigations reveal that though the specific surface area of the MnO2/MVO composite is reduced compared to pristine MnO2, its broader pore size distribution and enhanced structural stability significantly improve electrochemical performance. The composite exhibits a high reversible capacity of 295.2 mAh g− 1 at 50 mA g− 1, superior cycling stability, improved rate capability, and higher Zn²⁺ diffusion coefficients. These enhancements are attributed to the synergistic interaction between the high theoretical capacity of MnO2 and the structural integrity imparted by MnV2O6. This study highlights a promising materials design strategy for overcoming intrinsic limitations of MnO2-based cathodes and contributes valuable insights into the development of next-generation AZIB technologies.
