A reversible Mn2+/MnO2 deposition/dissolution reaction occurred at the cathode, in which the change in the electrolyte environment enabled Zn2+/Zn4SO4(OH)6•5H2O deposition/dissolution. The chemical reaction of Zn2+/Zn4SO4(OH)6•5H2O contributes no capacity and hinders the diffusion kinetics of the Mn2+/MnO2 reaction, which prevents the operation of ZIBs at high currents.
