Abstract:
Hydronium-ion batteries have received significant attention owing to the merits of extraordinary sustainability and excellent rate abilities. However, achieving high-performance hydronium-ion batteries remains a challenge due to the inferior properties of anode materials in strong acid electrolyte. Herein, a hydronium-ion battery is constructed which is based on a diquinoxalino [2,3-a:2',3'-c] phenazine (HATN) anode and a MnO2 @graphite felt cathode in a hybrid acidic electrolyte. The fast kinetics of hydronium-ion insertion/extraction into HATN electrode endows the HATN//MnO2 @GF battery with enhanced electrochemical performance. This battery exhibits an excellent rate performance (266 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 , 97 mAh g-1 at 50 A g-1 ), attractive energy density (182.1 Wh kg-1 ) and power density (31.2 kW kg-1 ), along with long-term cycle stability. These results shed light on the development of advanced hydronium-ion batteries.
