Abstract

In this paper, 2MnCO3@ZnO was synthesized by a hydrothermal method as a cathode material for Zn-ion batteries. In order to synthesize the 2MnCO3@ZnO material with the best electrochemical performance, the manganese source, hydrothermal conditions and calcination conditions were optimized. According to the electrochemical performance tests conducted to study the properties of the synthesized material, the highest capacity of the material in the cyclic charge–discharge test is 154.7 mAh/g. To investigate its chemical composition and microstructure, further physical characterization tests such as XRD, SEM, EDS, XPS and FT-IR were performed. Based on the results of XRD, EDS, XPS and FT-IR, the synthesized material is highly identified with 2MnCO3@ZnO. At the same time, EDS and SEM results show that the material has a cubic structure and the distribution of each element is uniform, indicating that the composite material has good structural stability.
