doi:10.11949/0438-1157.20210376

Abstract

Abstract:

In this paper, a simple one-step electrodeposition method was used to prepare Cu²⁺-doped MnO₂ materials. A series of examinations such as XRD, SEM and TEM are employed to describe the characteristic of Cu²⁺ doped MnO₂ samples. As a result, the Cu²⁺ doped MnO₂ materials possess a fluffy porous nanostructure and exhibit enhanced electrochemical performance when as a cathode of aqueous zinc ion batteries. In detail, the specific capacity of Cu²⁺ doped MnO₂ samples exhibit 235 mAh/g in 200 mA/g, which is about 47.8% higher than that of pure MnO₂ sample. Furthermore, the impedance of Cu²⁺ doped MnO₂ is also reduced from 997.3 Ω to 564.3 Ω.

Key words: copper doping, zinc ion battery, cathode material, nanostructure
