  • A 3D flower-like δ-MnO2 structure, self-assembled from nanosheets was constructed via a simple hydrothermal method. This 3D porous structure effectively captures abundant electrolyte ions and increases the Zn2+ concentration on the electrode surface, thereby optimizing Zn2+ transport pathways and accelerating the electrode reaction kinetics. Furthermore, the interconnected flower-like framework significantly enhanced the mechanical strength of the δ-MnO2 electrode, alleviating volume expansion during cycling and maintaining structural stability. The assembled aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) based δ-MnO2 electrode demonstrated a high discharge specific capacity of 358.2 mAh·g-1 at 0.1 A·g-1 and excellent cycling stability, retaining a discharge specific capacity of 94.9 mAh·g-1 after 1 000 cycles.
