, Microstructures 2025, 5, 2025091. 10.20517/microstructures.2024.193 | © The Author (s) 2025. Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), as one of the most promising energy storage devices, have attracted widespread attention owing to their abundant resources, environmental friendliness, and high safety.

Is manganese dioxide a good cathode material for zinc-ion batteries?

Manganese dioxide is one of the most well-studied cathode materials for zinc-ion batteries due to its wide range of crystal forms, cost-effectiveness, and well-established synthesis processes.

Are alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide batteries rechargeable?

Nature Communications 8, Article number: 405 (2017) Cite this article Although alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide batteries have dominated the primary battery applications, it is challenging to make them rechargeable. Here we report a high-performance rechargeable zinc-manganese dioxide system with an aqueous mild-acidic zinc triflate electrolyte.

What are aqueous zinc-ion batteries?

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are regarded as promising electrochemical energy storage devices owing to its low cost, intrinsic safety, abundant zinc reserves, and ideal specific capacity.
