the past decades, some issues of MnO 2based cathodes still remain due to the low electronic conductivity, [19-21] low utilization of reversible discharge depth, [22,23] sluggish diffusion kinetics, [24-26] and poor structural stability upon cycling, [27-29] which restricts their practical application in the commercial secondary batteries. Taking the Zn-ion batteries as example, the MnO 2 cathode seriously suffer from the above issues, especially the sluggish Zn 2+ diffusion, [30] and structural collapse issue during H + /Zn 2+ intercalation/ extraction cycles. [31-33] Regarding these bottlenecks, researchers have strived to develop strategies that can realize optimizations in capacity, rate, and cycling properties of MnO 2 cathodes, such as surface coating, [34] metal-doping, [35] preintercalation, [36] etc. Among all the strategies, preintercalation strategy provides a basic and effective method for optimizing the structure and electrochemical performance of MnO 2-based cathodes. In recent years, the preintercalation strategy has attracted much attention as an effective approach to enhance the electrochemical performance of cathode materials, including vanadate, [37] manganese oxides, [23] layered LiCoO 2 , [38] etc. Several reviews and prospects have been conducted for MnO 2 materials. Some reviews have mentioned the electrochemical properties and correlated reaction mechanism of MnO 2 materials in aqueous Zn batteries, [29,39,40] and a review by Mai's group offers insights into the rational design of preintercalation electrodes in next-generation rechargeable batteries. [36] However, a review or prospect on the application and mechanism of the preintercalation strategy in MnO 2 materials for nextgeneration batteries is lacking. For MnO 2 electrode materials, many reports on improving the electrochemical properties of materials by applying preintercalation strategy have been emerged in the last 5 years (Table S1 in the Supporting Information). The main feature of the preintercalated MnO 2 materials is that some ions/molecules are preintercalated into the tunnel or interlayer hosts of MnO 2 materials prior to the battery cycling (or during synthesis process). These intercalated guest species, including ions, inorganic/organic molecules, as well as polymers, present electrostatic and physical interactions with the host framework and the inserted carrier ions via chemical bonding or coordination, presenting significant benefiting effect on the inherent structure of hosts and the transport kinetics of carrier ions. Generally, there are several Manganese oxides (MnO 2) are promising cathode materials for various kinds of battery applications, including Li-ion, Na-ion, Mg-ion, and Zn-ion batteries, etc., due to their low-cost and high-capacity. However, the practical application of MnO 2 cathodes has been restricted by some critical issues including low electronic conductivity, low utilization of discharge depth, sluggish diffusion kinetics, and structural instability upon cycling.
