Abstract
A reliable and high-rate cathode is needed to study rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). Spinel ZnMn2O4 (ZMO) has special benefits that make it an attractive cathode material for ZIBs, including high availability, cheap cost, and environmental friendliness. However, because of its poor electronic conductivity and significant volume change throughout the charge/discharge process, it significantly limits both rate capability and lifespan. In this article, high-performance cathodes for rechargeable ZIBs are made using a new conductive polymer that is composed of ZMO and polypyrrole (ZMOP). The ZMOP cathode performs as predicted, with a huge specific capacity (213 mA h−1 at 0.1 Ag−1), good rate capability (119 mAhg−1 at 2 Ag−1), and exceptional durability over time (93% retention and 99.4% columbic efficiency after 2000 cycles). Additionally, quasi-solid-state ZIBs are created using an energy density (206 W h kg−1), and power density (0.18 kW kg−1).
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics is an established refereed companion to the Journal of Materials Science. It publishes papers on materials and their applications in modern electronics, covering the ground between fundamental science, such as semiconductor physics, and work concerned specifically with applications. It explores the growth and preparation of new materials, as well as their processing, fabrication, bonding and encapsulation, together with the reliability, failure analysis, quality assurance and characterization related to the whole range of applications in electronics. The Journal presents papers in newly developing fields such as low dimensional structures and devices, optoelectronics including III-V compounds, glasses and linear/non-linear crystal materials and lasers, high Tc superconductors, conducting polymers, thick film materials and new contact technologies, as well as the established electronics device and circuit materials.
