Electrochemically Induced Structural Transformation in a γ-MnO2 Cathode of a High Capacity Zinc-Ion Battery System
Abstract
In the present study, an in-depth investigation on the structural transformation in a mesoporous γ-MnO 2 cathode during electrochemical reaction in a zinc-ion battery (ZIB) has been undertaken. A combination of in situ Synchrotron XANES and XRD studies reveal that the tunnel-type parent γ-MnO 2 undergoes a structural transformation to spinel-type Mn(III) phase (ZnMn 2 O 4 ) and two new intermediary Mn(II) phases, namely, tunnel-type γ-Zn x MnO 2 and layered-type L-Zn y MnO 2, and that these phases with multioxidation states coexist after complete electrochemical Zn-insertion. On successive Zn-deinsertion/extraction, a majority of these phases with multioxidation states is observed to revert back to the parent γ-MnO 2 phase. The mesoporous γ-MnO 2 cathode, prepared by a simple ambient temperature strategy followed by low-temperature annealing at 200 °C, delivers an initial discharge capacity of 285 mAh g –1 at 0.05 mA cm –2 with a defined plateau at around 1.25 V vs Zn/Zn 2+ . Ex situ HR-TEM studies of the discharged electrode aided to identify the lattice fringe widths corresponding to the Mn(III) and Mn(II) phases, and the stoichiometric composition estimated by ICP analysis appears to be concordant with the in situ findings. Ex situ XRD studies also confirmed that the same electrochemical reaction occurred on repeated discharge/charge cycling. Moreover, the present synthetic strategy offers solutions for developing cost-effective and environmentally safe nanostructured porous electrodes for cheap and eco-friendly batteries.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
