α-MnO2-structured materials are generally classified as semiconductors, thus we present a strategy to increase electrochemical utilization through design of a conductive material interface. Surface treatment of silver hollandite (AgxMn8O16) with Ag+ (Ag2O) provides significant benefit to the resultant electrochemistry, including a decreased charge transfer resistance, and a 2-fold increase in deliverable energy density at high rate. The improved function of this designed interface relative to conventional electrode fabrication strategies is further highlighted.
