A wide variety of crystal structures for MnO2, called polymorphs, has potential for cathode materials in next-generation batteries. The focus of this review is on alpha-MnO2 and lambda-MnO2 structures and their criteria for achieving topotactic reactions during magnesiation. The stability of lambda-MnO2 can be improved by materials design, as demonstrated by the successful example of defect spinel ZnMnO3.
A wide variety of crystal structures for MnO2, so-called polymorphs, is promising for basic frameworks of cathode materials in next-generation batteries such as Mg rechargeable batteries. In this short review, we summarize recent progress on MnO2-based cathode materials for Mg rechargeable batteries, especially focusing on the structures of alpha-MnO2 and lambda-MnO2 to discuss the criteria for achieving topotactic reactions during magnesiation. In contrast to adequately stable alpha-MnO2, spinel-structured lambda-MnO2 is unstable at elevated temperatures around 150 degrees C; however, its stability can be significantly improved by materials design. Here, we introduce as a successful example that defect spinel ZnMnO3 exhibits long-term cycle performance even at 150 degrees C with high potential and capacity.
