Source abstract
Abstract
In this paper, ZnMn2O4/Mn2O3nanoparticles were synthesized by an anhydrous sol–gel route to deal the poor capacity retention performance of Mn2O3cathode material for Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs). The optimal Mn/Zn molar ratio in ZnMn2O4/Mn2O3nanoparticles is 9:1. ZnMn2O4/Mn2O3nanoparticles synthesized at the optimal Mn/Zn molar ratio (ZnMn2O4/Mn2O3-9) is composed of 28.98 at.% ZnMn2O4nanoparticles and 71.02 at.% Mn2O3nanopaticles. The nanoparticles have a size of 30–50 nm. The gaps between the stacked nanoparticles lead to the porous structure of ZnMn2O4/Mn2O3-9. As a cathode material for ZIBs, ZnMn2O4/Mn2O3-9 delivers a high capacity of 356 mAh g−1at a current density of 0.2 A g−1after 600 cycles and maintains the high capacity during cycling. The high capacity and good capacity retention performance of ZnMn2O4/Mn2O3-9 is attributed to the anhydrous sol–gel route, the nanoscale and porous structure of the active material, and the introduction of ZnMn2O4with smaller volume effect than Mn2O3.Graphical abstractCyclic performance of ZnMn2O4/Mn2O3produced under a Mn/Zn molar ratio of 9:1
