Abstract
The exploration of innovative nanocomposite architectures in energy storage has long captivated researchers. Recent technological advancements in the development of Zinc-ion (Zn-ion) batteries have become a focal point of this research. Herein, we present the synthesis of Mn3O4@Titanium carbide (TCM) sheets as cathodes for the Zn-ion battery system. Various nano-characterization techniques were employed to confirm the sample characteristics and to ascertain the nanocomposites’ morphological, physical, and thermal properties. Furthermore, analyses of the electrochemical behavior of the constructed coin cells reveal their notable initial cycle capacity of approximately 675 mAh g−1, underscoring the superior Zn-ion storage capacity of TCM nanostructures. The synthesized TCM nanocomposites hold promise for advancing Zn-ion battery systems, contributing to the development of safer and more cost-effective solutions for electrochemical energy storage systems.
