Abstract
Manganese-based aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are regarded as promising candidates for large-scale energy storage owing to their safety, low cost, and environmental sustainability. Nevertheless, their practical deployment is limited by the poor electrical conductivity and structural instability of manganese-based cathodes, particularly the dissolution of active materials during cycling. In this study, lanthanum-doped manganese dioxide (La-doped MnO2) was synthesized through a mechanochemical reaction, followed by annealing to overcome these challenges. The incorporation of lanthanum markedly improves both the electrical conductivity and structural stability of MnO2. Consequently, the La-doped MnO2 cathode delivers enhanced electrochemical performance, achieving a high specific capacity of 288 mA·h·g-1 at 0.1 A·g-1 and excellent cycling stability, with 81% capacity retention at 0.4 A·g-1 after 500 cycles. These results reveal the potential of La-doped MnO2 as a high-performance cathode material for next-generation aqueous ZIBs.
Vanadium-based oxides are promising cathodes for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIB) but suffer from inferior structural stability and sluggish Zn2+ diffusion. Herein, Na0.069Ca1.06V10O24·3.2H2O (NaCaVOH) microspheres were rationally designed and synthesized via a facile, scalable, and low-energy one-step hydrothermal...
