Abstract
ZnMn2O4 is a promising cathode material for aqueous zinc-ion batteries owing to its high voltage and eco-friendliness. This study synthesizes ZnMn2O4 via coprecipitation and calcination (600–900 °C), investigating temperature effects on structure and performance. Increasing calcination temperature enhances crystallinity and particle size, with optimal results at 800 °C. The ZMO-800 sample exhibits uniform 50–100 nm nanoparticles forming a porous architecture, delivering superior zinc storage: 124.8 mAh g−1 after 1000 cycles at 1.0 A g−1 (88.7 % retention) and 136 mAh g−1 at 3.0 A g−1. Enhanced performance stems from improved crystallinity, nanoscale particles, and high surface area. Mechanism analysis via CV, EIS, GITT, and ex-situ XRD/Raman/SEM reveals stable electrochemical behavior. This work provides a simple strategy to optimize ZnMn2O4 cathodes for high-performance ZIBs.
ZnMn2O4具有高电压、环保等优点,是一种很有前途的水性锌离子电池正极材料。本研究采用共沉淀法和煅烧法(600 ~ 900℃)合成了ZnMn2O4,考察了温度对其结构和性能的影响。提高煅烧温度可以提高结晶度和粒度,在800℃时效果最佳。ZMO-800样品具有均匀的50-100 nm纳米颗粒,形成多孔结构,提供卓越的锌存储:在1.0 ag - 1下循环1000次后124.8 mAh g - 1(保留88.7%)和在3.0 ag - 1下136 mAh g - 1。增强的性能源于改进的结晶度、纳米级颗粒和高表面积。通过CV, EIS, GITT和非原位XRD/Raman/SEM对其机理进行了分析,发现其具有稳定的电化学行为。这项工作提供了一种简单的策略来优化高性能ZIBs的ZnMn2O4阴极。
