Rechargeable alkaline Zn/MnO ₂ batteries are an attractive solution for large-scale energy storage applications. Recently, Bi and Cu additives have been used to increase the cycle life and capacity of rechargeable Zn/MnO ₂ batteries, with an equivalent of the full two-electron capacity realized for many cycles, in the absence of zinc. However, the mechanism of the effect of Bi and Cu on the performance of rechargeable Zn/MnO ₂ batteries has not been investigated in detail. We apply first-principles density functional computational methods to study the discharge mechanisms of the unmodified and Bi/Cu-modified γ -MnO ₂ electrodes in rechargeable alkaline Zn/MnO ₂ batteries. Using the results of our calculations, we analyze the possible redox reaction pathways in the γ -MnO ₂ electrode and identify the electrochemical processes leading to the formation of irreversible discharge reaction products, such as hausmannite and hetaerolite. Our study demonstrates the possibility of formation of intermediate Bi-Mn and Cu-Mn oxides in deep-cycled Bi/Cu-modified MnO ₂ electrodes. The formation of intermediate Bi-Mn and Cu-Mn oxides could reduce the rate of accumulation of irreversible reaction products in the MnO ₂ electrode and improve the rechargeability and cyclability of Zn/MnO ₂ batteries.
