Abstract
Bi3+-doped δ-MnO2 materials (BMX, X = 5, 10, 15) with long cycle life were obtained by an in situ electrochemical reaction using δ-MnO2 and Bi2O3 mixture as raw materials. According to the material characterization and electrochemical performance test, it indicates that the bismuth is evenly incorporated into δ-MnO2. Among these obtained materials, BM10 exhibits the best performance. The specific capacity of the BM10 cathode is maintained at 108 mAh g−1 after 5000 cycles at a current density of 3 A g−1 and remains at 70 mAh g−1 after 9000 cycles without attenuation at a high current density of 10 A g−1. The Bi3+ modification mechanism is also revealed by the electrochemical kinetic and chemical analyses, which can effectively stabilize the layered structure of δ-MnO2, increase the diffusion rate of Zn2+ and H+, and inhibit the dissolution of Mn2+ formed by the disproportionation reaction of Mn3+. The preparation process of manganese-based materials with excellent performance is easy to handle and has large-scale production and application prospects.
