Electrochemical activity of different MnO2 phases as electrodes of aluminium-ion batteries (AIBs) is studied. For this purpose, different simple synthesis routes have been carried out to obtain different structures and morphologies: rod-like with tunnelled structure (α-MnO2) and hexagonal micro-pellets with lamellar structure (δ-MnO2). α-MnO2 showed an outstanding capacity (Q) of 120 mA h g-1 at current densities of 100 mA g-1, which remained stable after 100 cycles with efficiencies over 90%. δ-MnO2 showed a good Q of 80 mA h g-1 at current densities of 50 mA g-1 after 50 cycles with efficiencies over 95%. Moreover, cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements at different rates allowed for a better understanding of the electrochemical behaviour and revealed the contribution relation of diffusive and capacitive-controlled mechanisms in the corresponding AIB system. In addition, cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements at different rates allowed a kinetic study of the diffusive and capacitive-controlled mechanisms. Conclusions were obtained regarding the dimensionality of α-MnO2 (1D) and δ-MnO2 (2D) and their electrochemical behaviour in AIBs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
