Abstract

Layered manganese oxides adopting pre-accommodated cations have drawn tremendous interest for the application as cathodes in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) owing to their open 2D channels for fast ion-diffusion and mild phase transition upon topochemical (de)intercalation processes. However, it is inevitable to see these “pillar” cations leaching from the hosts owing to the loose interaction with negatively charged Helmholtz planes within the hosts and shearing/bulking effects in 2D structures upon guest species (de)intercalation, which implies a limited modulation to prevent them from rapid performance decay. Herein, a new class of layered manganese oxides, Mg0.9Mn3O7·2.7H2O, is proposed for the first time, aims to achieve a robust cathode for high-performance AZIBs. The cathode can deliver a high capacity of 312 mAh g−1 at 0.2 A g−1 and exceptional cycling stability with 92% capacity retention after 5 000 cycles at 5 A g−1. The comprehensive characterizations elucidate its peculiar motif of pined Mg-□Mn-Mg dumbbell configuration along with interstratified hydrogen bond responsible for less Mn migration/dissolution and quasi-zero-strain characters. The revealed new structure-function insights can open up an avenue toward the rational design of superstructural cathodes for reversible AZIBs.
