Abstract

Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have emerged as a promising candidate due to the abundance, low cost and high energy density. However, the performance of ZIBs needs to be improved to meet the practical requirements of energy storage systems. This work probes the efficacy of co-intercalation as a strategy for enhancing the electrochemical performance of ZIBs through the fabrication of sodium and copper co-intercalated birnessite manganese oxide (NCMO) cathodes. The results show that the cointercalation of sodium and copper ions catalyzes the activation of copper cations on the surface Mn2+/ Mn4+ redox pair, leading to improved specific capacity and cycling stability. The NCMO cathode exhibits a remarkable specific capacity of 576 mA h g1 after 100 cycles at a low loading of around B1 mg cm2 and a high areal capacity of 2.10 mA h cm2 at a high loading of B10.9 mg cm2. The mechanism of copper ions to promote the manganese-based cathode conversion reaction is thoroughly investigated. These findings suggest that developing catalytic effects is a promising approach for developing highperformance cathode materials for ZIBs with practical and efficient energy storage systems.
