Abstract
- Aqueous ZIBs are one of the most promising next-generation rechargeable batteries because of the high capacity, high hydrogen evolution overpotential, and chemically stable reversible plating/stripping of the zinc electrode in the mild aqueous electrolyte. However, there are limited cathode materials that can store Zn <superscript>2+</superscript> reversibly with superior cycling and rate capability. Herein, hierarchically porous nanorods composed of twinborn α-(Mn <subscript>2</subscript> O <subscript>3</subscript> -MnO <subscript>2</subscript> ) heterostructures are proposed as a robust cathode for Zn storage. Thanks to the hierarchically porous nanorod morphology and the abundant interface of the heterostructures involving a built-in electric field, the as-obtained twinborn α-(Mn <subscript>2</subscript> O <subscript>3</subscript> -MnO <subscript>2</subscript> ) electrode delivers a high capacity of 170 mA h g <superscript>-1</superscript> for 2000 cycles at 500 mA g <superscript>-1</superscript> and shows an excellent rate capability of up to 1.5 A g <superscript>-1</superscript> with a capacity of 124 mA h g <superscript>-1</superscript> . The inspiring results achieved exhibit the enormous potential of the high-performance heterostructure cathode for fast and stable ZIBs.
