Among zinc-ion battery (ZIB) cathodes, ZnMn2O4 (ZMO), with its high theoretical capacity and voltage, is an intriguing choice. In this study, we compared the electrochemical activity of a ZMO microrods cathode obtained through a simple co-precipitation process in the presence of a 0.1 M MnSO4 (MS) solution as a full-time electrolyte, as an additive in zinc sulfate (ZMS) electrolyte (1 M ZnSO4 + 0.1 M MnSO4) and in its absence or a fulltime zinc sulfate (ZS) electrolyte (1 M ZnSO4), respectively. Systematic investigations including ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies revealed the reasons for the superior stability and high reversibility of ZMO in the ZMS electrolyte medium. The exceptional performance was facilitated by the electrochemical equilibrium between Zn2+ and Mn2+ ions via a stable Zn2+ (de)insertion in the bulk, a reversible electro-deposition/dissolution of MnOx from the Mn2+ additive in the electrolyte onto(from) the surface of the cathode and the reversible Zn-insertion into the undissolved surface MnOx layer. This finding is significant as it is contrary to the conventional understanding that the addition of Mn2+ merely tends to prevent manganese dissolution thereby facilitating a stable cycle-life performance of the cathode in ZIBs.
