Aqueous battery has been gained much more interest for large-scale energy storage fields due to its excellent safety, high power density and low cost. Cryptomelane-type KMnO confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) was successfully synthesized by a modified hydrothermal method, followed by annealed at 400°C for 3 h. The morphology and microstructure of as-prepared KMnO investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) with the energy spectrum analysis (EDS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrate that one-dimensional nano rods with the length of about 500 nm constitute the microspheres with the diameter about 0.5~2 μm. The cyclic voltammetry measurement displays that the abundant intercalation of zinc ions on the cathode takes place during the initial discharge process, indicating that cryptomelane-type KMnO can be used as the potential cathode material for aqueous zinc ion batteries. The electrode shows a good cycling performance with a reversible capacity of up to 77.0 mAh/g even after 100 cycles and a small self-discharge phenomenon.

Monolithic catalysts with excellent O catalytic decomposition performance were prepared by in situ loading of Co-doped KMnO on the surface of nickel foam. The triple-layer structure with Co-doped KMnO/NiMnO/Ni foam was grown spontaneously on the surface of nickel foam by tuning the molar ratio of KMnO to Co(NO)·6HO precursors. Importantly, the formed NiMnO structure between KMnO and nickel foam during in situ synthesis process effectively protected nickel foam from further etching, which significantly enhanced the reaction stability of catalyst.

Due to low cost and low toxicity, manganese oxides have been extensively explored to reduce organic pollutants in wastewater via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation; but the development of manganese-based catalysts with facile synthesis process at low temperatures and high efficiency is still of significant practical interest. In this paper, a simple room temperature method has been successfully developed to synthesize cryptomelane-type manganese octahedral molecular sieves (OMS-2) from KMnO and MnSO in the presence of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The redox reaction between amorphous manganese oxide and CNTs results the decrease of manganese valences and the formation of OMS-2 phase at a low temperature of 25 °C.
