Deep ion mass transfer addressing the capacity shrink challenge of aqueous Zn‖MnO2 batteries during the cathode scaleup

Energy Environ. Sci., 2024, 17,8904-8914
DOI: 10.1039/D4EE02871F, Paper
Na Jiang, You Zeng, Qi Yang, Puda Lu, Keqi Qu, Lihang Ye, Xuejun Lu, Ziqiang Liu, Xixian Li, Yongchao Tang, Jinchao Cao, Shimou Chen, Chunyi Zhi, Jieshan Qiu
This work shows that the introduction of interstitial carbon into the MnO2 lattice could reduce the affinity toward SO42− and OH, thus suppressing the surface coverage of ZHS and improving the Zn||MnO2 battery performance under large loading mass.
