The research and exploration of manganese-based aqueous zinc-ion batteries have been controversial of cycle stability and mechanism investigation,thus improving the stability and exploring storage mecha-nism are still the most main issue.Defect engineering has become an effective method to improve cycle stability.Herein,a nitrogen-doped ε-MnO2 (MnO2@N) has been prepared using electrochemical deposi-tion and heat treatment under nitrogen atmosphere.As the cathode for zinc-ion batteries,the capacity retention rate of MnO2@N cathode is close to 100% after 500 cycles at 0.5 A g-1,while the capacity reten-tion rate for the initial MnO2 cathode is 62%.At 5 A g-1,the capacity retention rate of MnO2@N cathode is 83% after 1000 cycles,which is much higher than the 27% capacity retention rate for the original MnO2 cathode.And it can be found that the oxygen vacancies increase after nitrogen doping,which can improve the conductivity of the MnO2@N cathode.Also,there is Mn-N bond in MnO2@N,which can enhance the electrochemical stability of MnO2@N cathode.In addition,the electrochemical mechanism of MnO2@N cathode has been explored by the CV,GCD and GITT tests.It is found that nitrogen doping promotes the intercalation of H+ and the corresponding capacity contribution.Compared with the original MnO2 cathode,the diffusion coefficient of H+ and Zn2+in MnO2@N cathode increases.Also,the reactions during the charging and discharging process are explored through the ex-situ XRD test.And this work may pro-vide some new ideas for improving the stability of manganese-based zinc-ion batteries.
