New Mn Electrochemistry for Rechargeable Aqueous Batteries: Promising Directions Based on Preliminary Results
Abstract
Aqueous batteries with metal anodes exhibit robust anodic capacities, but their energy densities are low because of the limited potential stabilities of aqueous electrolyte solutions. Current metal options, such as Zn and Al, pose a dilemma: Zn lacks a sufficiently low redox potential, whereas Al tends to be strongly oxidized in aqueous environments. Our investigation introduces a novel rechargeable aqueous battery system based on Mn as the anode. We examine the effects of anions, electrolyte concentration, and diverse cathode chemistries. Notably, the ClO4-based electrolyte solution exhibits improved deposition and dissolution efficiencies. Although stainless steel (SS 316 L) and Ni are stable current collectors for cathodes, they display limitations as anodes. However, using Ti as the anode resulted in increased Mn deposition and dissolution efficiencies. Moreover, we evaluate this system using various cathode materials, including Mn-intercalation-based inorganic (Ag0.33V2O5) and organic (perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride) cathodes and an anion-intercalation-chemistry (coronene)-based cathode. These configurations yield markedly higher output potentials compared to those of Zn metal batteries, highlighting the potential for an augmented energy density when using an Mn anode. This study outlines a systematic approach for use in optimizing metal anodes in Mn metal batteries, unlocking novel prospects for Mn-based batteries with diverse cathode chemistries.
