Abstract

Abstract In the literature, Zn–Mn aqueous batteries (ZMABs) confront abnormal capacity behavior, such as capacity fluctuation and diverse “unprecedented performances.” Because of the electrolyte additive‐induced complexes, various charge/discharge behaviors associated with different mechanisms are being reported. However, the current performance assessment remains unregulated, and only the electrode or the electrolyte is considered. The lack of a comprehensive and impartial performance evaluation protocol for ZMABs hinders forward research and commercialization. Here, a pH clue (proton‐coupled reaction) to understand different mechanisms is proposed and the capacity contribution is normalized. Then, a series…
