Voltage induced lattice contraction enabling superior cycling stability of MnO2 cathode in aqueous zinc batteries

Yaozhi Liu et al.

Summary: The cycling stability of MnO2 cathodes in aqueous zinc batteries is highly dependent on the presence of Mn2+ additives in the electrolyte. However, this study demonstrates a voltage-induced lattice contraction mechanism that enables stable cycling of a-MnO2 in Mn2+-free electrolytes. The accumulation of electrochemically inactive parts is found to be the main cause of capacity decay during cycling at a top voltage cut-off of 1.8 V. By extending the voltage limit to 2.2 V and implementing a voltage hold process during the initial charge, the inactive parts are activated to undergo reversible two-electron transfer reactions. The high voltage induces lattice contraction, stabilizes structural water, enhances Mn release, and generates more oxygen vacancies, weakening the Mn binding in the lattice. As a result, MnO2 achieves a capacity of 323 mAh g 1 with 94.6% retention over 300 cycles (>1800 h) at 0.1 A g 1 in a Mn2+-free electrolyte of 3 M ZnSO4. This work provides an effective approach to achieve stable cycling of MnO2 cathodes in zinc batteries.
