The yolk‐shell structure exhibits fascinating and important properties for energy storage devices. The carbon shell significantly improves the good electrical conductivity and the stable micro‐/nanostructures of the active material increases utilization. MnO2@C with a yolk‐shell structure shows high reversibility, good rate performance, and excellent cycling stability for aqueous Zn‐ion batteries. The Zn‐ion battery with MnO2@C could realize a high reversible capacity of 239 mAh g−1 at 0.1 A g−1. In particular, at a quite high current density of 2 A g−1, it achieves capacity of 91 mAh g−1. The Zn‐ion battery has excellent capacity retention of up to 1000 cycles at 1 A g−1. The yolk‐shell structure plays an important role in improving the battery performance.

In this paper, radial point collocation method (RPCM) is introduced to solve the acoustic scattering problem. This is a mathematically simple, easy-to-program and truly meshless method, which has been successfully applied to solve the solid mechanics and convection diffusion problems. However, application of this method to investigate acoustic problems, in particle the acoustic scattering problem is relatively new. The main advantage of this method is its mathematically simple, easy to program, and truly meshless. A Hermite-type interpolation method is employed to improve the solution accuracy while the Neumann boundary conditions exist. In addition, acoustic scattering problem is a typical unbounded domain problem, in order to solve it with RPCM, the domain is truncated to a finite region and an artificial boundary condition (ABC) is imposed. Finally, numerical example is presented to validate the accuracy and effectiveness of RPCM. In the future, the extension of RPCM to more complex and practical problems, especially the three-dimensional situations need to be investigated in more detail.
