Building better rechargeable Zn–Mn batteries with a highly active Mn3O4/carbon nanowire cathode and neutral Na2SO4/MnSO4 electrolyte†
Abstract
A more reliable/eco-friendly secondary Zn–Mn battery system is built with highly active Mn3O4@carbon nanowires and near-neutral electrolytes. Such configured batteries show high reversibility and superior behavior in terms of both stored capacity and cycling durability, holding great promise in near-future power-supply applications.
