Abstract
MnO2/MnO cathode material with superior Zn2+ storage performance is prepared through a simple physical mixing method. The MnO2/MnO nanocomposite with a mixed mass ratio of 12:1 exhibits the highest specific capacity (364.2 mA.h/g at 0.2C), good cycle performance (170.4 mA.h/g after 100 cycles) and excellent rate performance (205.7 mA.h/g at 2C). Analysis of cyclic voltammetry (CV) data at various scan rates shows that both diffusion-controlled insertion behavior and surface capacitive behavior contribute to the Zn2+ storage performance of MnO2/MnO cathodes. And the capacitive behavior contributes more at high discharge rates, due to the short paths of ion diffusion and the rapid transfer of electrons.
