Onion-like carbon (OLC) integrated alpha-Mno(2) nanorods (alpha-Mno(2)/OLC) composite has been studied as a viable cathode material for potential development of high-performance zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). XRD results revealed the tetragonal phase of the alpha-Mno(2) materials, and the FE-SEM and HR-TEM images show nano-sized rod-shaped morphology with an average diameter of 30 nm. The BET surface area of the alpha-MnO2/OLC composite was almost 6 times (247.22 m(2)/g) higher than that of the pristine (42.48 m(2)/g) material and the thermogravimetric investigation was exposed 50% of MnO2 and 50% OLC is presented in the composite. The electrochemical performance of the cells was evaluated by galvanostatic cycling (GC), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) using 1 M ZnSO4 plus 0.1 M MnSO4 additive as electrolyte and Zn foil as the anode. Cycling results indicate that alpha-MnO2/OLC composite exhibits a stable and high reversible capacity of 168 mAh g(-1) (93% capacity retention) compared to the alpha-MnO2 material with a capacity of 104 mAh g(-1) (81% capacity retention) after 100 cycles.
