Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are considered promising for the next generation of functional batteries due to their high safety and environmental performance, yet they suffer from poor cycling stability. By synthesizing Ni-PTA-Mn, an organic metal framework porous material, as the cathode, the batteries displayed high discharge specific capacity and capacity retention, attributed mainly to proton conductivity through H-bond networks formed inside the framework backbone.
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are regarded as a novel scheme for the next generation of functional batteries due to their high safety and environment-friendly performance. Nevertheless, aqueous zinc-ion batteries suffer from poor cycling stability, which is mainly due to the poor structural stability and distortion of the electrode materials during charging and discharging. Herein, Ni-PTA-Mn, an organic metal framework porous material with a large specific surface area and conductive function, was directly synthesized by onestep hydrothermal method. When it was directly applied as the cathode of aqueous zinc-ion batteries, the batteries exhibited a discharge specific capacity of up to 139 mAh g-1 (0.1 A g-1) and an capacity retention rate of about 93% at 1 A g-1 (after 100 cycles). Outstanding electrochemical performance was mainly attributed to proton conductivity through the formation of H-bond networks inside the framework backbone. (c) 2021 Published by Elsevier B.V.
