Oxidative Electrochemical Coupling Between Bi and Mn in Rechargeable Alkaline MnO2 Cathodes
Abstract The Bi-modified MnO2 cathode is an enabling technology for rechargeable alkaline Zn batteries, which are under intense study for low-cost, sustainable, non-flammable grid-scale energy storage. Although the effect of Bi on MnO2 rechargeability has been known for decades,...
