Chemically-prepared MnO2 containing a highly crystalline ramsdellite phase was tested as a cathode material in aqueous Zn-salt (ZnSO4 and Zn(CF3SO3)2) based electrolytes for the first time. This aqueous MnO2/Zn cell has shown excellent performance and reversibility, retaining ≈65% of its initial capacity for more than 1000 cycles. The charge storage mechanism is complex and includes a ramsdellite/tetragonal spinel two-phase reaction.
首次将具有高度结晶拉锰矿相的化学制备 MnO2 用作水基 Zn 盐(ZnSO4 和 Zn(CF3SO3)2)电解质中的阴极材料进行了测试。这种水性 MnO2/Zn 电池表现出了优异的性能和可逆性,在 1000 次循环以上的时间里保留了 ≈65%的初始容量。电荷存储机制很复杂,包括拉锰矿/尖晶石两相反应。
