By pre-intercalating alkali ions and water crystals into layered delta-MnO2, ultra-thin nanosheets of K0.27MnO2∙0.54H2O (KMO) and Na0.55Mn2O4∙1.5H2O were prepared, which act as pillars to stabilize the structures and enable rapid cation diffusion in the KMO structure, leading to high power capability and good cycling stability. The charge storage mechanism of KMO in an aqueous Zn-ion battery involves (de)intercalation of H3O+ with further dissolution-precipitation of Zn-4(OH)6(SO4)∙5H2O solid product on the KMO surface, as revealed by electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance measurements and in-operando X-ray diffraction techniques.
Recently, rechargeable zinc-ion batteries in mild acidic electrolytes have attracted considerable research interest as a result of their high sustainability, safety, and low cost. However, the use of conventional Zn-ion storage materials is hindered by insufficient specific capacity, sluggish reaction kinetics, or poor cycle life. Here, these limitations are addressed by pre-intercalating alkali ions and water crystals into layered delta-MnO2 (birnessite) to prepare K0.27MnO2 center dot 0.54H(2)O (KMO) and Na0.55Mn2O4 center dot 1.5H(2)O with ultrathin nanosheet morphology via a rapid molten salt method. In these materials, alkali ions and water crystals act as pillars to stabilize the layered structures, which can enable rapid diffusion of cations in the KMO structure, resulting in high power capability (90 mAh g(-1) at 10 C) and good cycling stability. Furthermore, electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance measurements shed light on the charge storage mechanism of KMO in an aqueous Zn-ion battery which, combined together with in-operando X-ray diffraction techniques, suggests that the charge storage process is dominated by the (de)intercalation of H3O+ with further dissolution-precipitation of Zn-4(OH)(6)(SO4)center dot 5H(2)O solid product on the KMO surface during cycling.
