one. Article overview
The manganese-based zinc ion battery has the advantages of simple preparation, low cost and high safety, and is a large-scale rechargeable battery with broad application prospects. However, the low-rate performance and poor cycle performance of manganese-based cathodes hinder the commercial application of manganese-based cathodes. In this paper, metal ion intercalation in-situ growth technology was used to form MnO2 nanosheets uniformly on the surface of V2CTX MXene, and a manganese-vanadium hybrid cathode K -V2C@MnO2 was designed and synthesized. K-V2C@MnO2 has a hybrid structure with high conductivity and abundant active sites, as well as the synergistic Mn2+ electrodeposition reaction and the inhibition of MnO2 structural damage. It shows excellent electrochemical performance for ZIBs in water. Specifically, it exhibits a high specific capacity of 408.1 mAh g-1 at 0.3 A g-1, and maintains 119.2 mAh g-1 at a high current density of 10 A g-1 for 10,000 long-term cycles. The specific capacity. It is superior to almost all ZIBs reported in manganese-based cathode aqueous solutions. Its excellent electrochemical performance shows that the manganese-based cathode material designed in this article is a reasonable method and can be used for high-performance ZIB cathodes.

Third, the full text summary
In summary, the manganese-based cathode material of MnO2 nanosheets coated with layered V2CTX MXene is beneficial to improve the specific capacity, rate performance and cycle life of zib. Using the strategy of K+ ion intercalation and in-situ growth, an advanced K-V2C@MnO2 hybrid was successfully synthesized, which is an advanced manganese-vanadium composite zinc ion storage cathode. Physical characterization and electrochemical research k-V2C@MnO2 electrode has considerable structural stability and high reversibility. In addition, combined with electrical analysis, simulation calculation, synchronous XANES and EXAFS technology, the Zn2+ insertion/extraction mechanism and phase transition of the K V2C@MnO2 electrode are explained. Compared with most existing ZIBs cathode materials, K−V2C@MnO2 has the advantages of a conductive substrate and high surface activity, as well as excellent rate performance, high capacity and cycle stability. Specifically, K−V2C@MnO2 and Mn2+ electrodeposition enhance the synergistic reaction and suppress structural damage by manganese dioxide, reaching a magical capacity of 408.1mAhg−1 at 0.3Ag−1, which is the best Zn2+ for manganese cathodes reported previously. capacity. In addition, even at a fairly high rate of 10Ag−1, K−V2C@MnO2 still maintains an achievable capacity of 119.2mAhg−1 after 10,000 cycles. The results show that K−V2C@MnO2 is a promising high-performance zib cathode material. In addition, this work not only provides an idea for further understanding of the zinc ion insertion process, but also provides a method for the development of low-cost, high reversibility, high stability and safety water batteries.
