Le Zhang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates a facile plasma-induced strategy to introduce oxygen vacancies into epsilon-MnO2, resulting in oxygen vacancies-rich epsilon-MnO2 nanosheets (epsilon-MnO2-x) with satisfactory electrochemical performance. The synergistic effect of oxygen vacancies and exposed free-standing collector enables the epsilon-MnO2-x nanosheets electrode to deliver remarkable capacity, ultrahigh energy density, and impressive durability, making it a promising strategy for designing advanced metal oxide electrode materials for high-performance aqueous zinc ion batteries.
