New insight into the influence of Li+, Na+, and K+ cations between adjacent layers of birnessite-type manganese oxides (MnOx) towards the intercalation/deintercalation charge storage mechanism as a neutral electrochemical capacitor (1 M Na2SO4) is demonstrated. These structural cations play a major role in both the kinetic electron transfer in a faradaic redox reaction and the accessibility of the compensating electrolyte ions. Li-MnOx shows the highest Mn utilization of 51% followed by Na-MnOx (40%) and K-MnOx (31%), respectively.
