Rechargeable aqueous zinc–manganese oxides batteries have been considered as a promising battery system due to their intrinsic safety, high theoretical capacity, low cost and environmental friendliness.
Manganese (Mn) based batteries have attracted remarkable attention due to their attractive features of low cost, earth abundance and environmental friendliness. However, the poor stability of the positive electrode due to the phase transformation and structural collapse issues has hindered their validity for rechargeable batteries.
However, some problems of manganese oxides still restrict the future application of zinc–manganese oxides batteries, such as the structural instability upon cycling, low electrical conductivity and complicated charge-discharge process.
The deposition/dissolution Zn–MnO 2 batteries are regarded as a promising battery system due to the high operating voltage and high theoretical specific capacity of 616 mAh g −1 (two-electron reaction of Mn 2+ /Mn 4+), which has attracted wide attention in the field of aqueous energy storage systems .
As a result, a Zn–Mn flow battery demonstrated a CE of 99% and an EE of 78% at 40 mA cm −2 with more than 400 cycles. Combined with excellent electrochemical reversibility, low cost and two-electron transfer properties, the Zn–Mn battery can be a very promising candidate for large scale energy storage.
