Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-Coated Vanadium-Doped MnO2 Nanorods for High-Performance Flexible Aqueous Zinc-Ion Battery Cathode

Manganese-based aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are considered promising cathode materials for large-scale energy storage applications due to their low cost and high safety. However, the primary constraints on achieving high specific capacity and cycling stability are the inherent low conductivity and suboptimal structural stability of the AZIB cathodes. Herein, we report a high-performance poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)-coated vanadium-doped MnO
