Engineering manganese-based oxide heterostructure cathode for high-performance aqueous potassium-ion storage

Structural water engaged disordered vanadium oxide nanosheets for high capacity aqueous potassium-ion storage

Aqueous electrochemical energy storage devices using potassium-ions as charge carriers are attractive due to their superior safety, lower cost and excellent transport properties compared to other alkali ions. However, the accommodation of potassium-ions with satisfactory capacity and cyclability is difficult because the large ionic radius of potassium-ions causes structural distortion and insta...

Manganese-based cathode materials for Li-ion batteries

Spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 Cathode for High-Energy Aqueous Lithium-Ion Batteries

DOI: 10.1002/aenm.201600922 considering the overpotential during charge process. Recently, Yamada et al. reported that LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 can only reversibly provide capacity of ≈75 mA h g−1 in the more concentrated hydrate melt electrolytes (≈30 mol kg−1), which is 50% of theoretical capacity.[14] The oxygen evolution side reaction also largely significantly reduce the coulombic efficiency. In add...

Todorokite-type manganese oxide nanowires as an intercalation cathode for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries

Graphene Scroll-Coated α-MnO2 Nanowires as High-Performance Cathode Materials for Aqueous Zn-Ion Battery.

The development of manganese dioxide as the cathode for aqueous Zn-ion battery (ZIB) is limited by the rapid capacity fading and material dissolution. Here, a highly reversible aqueous ZIB using graphene scroll-coated α-MnO2 as the cathode is proposed. The graphene scroll is uniformly coated on the MnO2 nanowire with an average width of 5 nm, which increases the electrical conductivity of the M...
