Using a model tunnel manganese oxide with the todorokite crystal structure (T-MnO₂), we reveal that controlling the morphology of the active material can improve the cycling stability of intercalation battery electrodes. The T-MnO₂ structure is built from tunnels that provide spacious 1D diffusion channels for charge-carrying ions. Taking advantage of the unique ability to synthesize T-MnO₂ in the form of both highly crystalline two-dimensional (2D) nanoplatelets and one-dimensional (1D) nanowires through a facile hydrothermal growth method, we investigated the effect of nanoscale particle dimensions on reversible battery cycling. Insertion of ions into the tunnels results in anisotropic expansion of the structure, making T-MnO₂ with different morphologies an excellent model platform to understand how intercalation-induced volume change, typically leading to the deterioration of the electrode performance over extended cycling, can be controlled through synthesis of targeted morphologies. T-MnO₂ nanowires showed not only significantly improved capacity retention but also substantially higher specific capacity than the T-MnO₂ nanoplatelets. The enhanced electrochemical properties of the nanowire electrodes could be attributed to the larger surface-to-volume ratio than that of nanoplatelets, resulting in higher contact area with electrolyte for the nanowires. Moreover, due to the smaller cross-sectional area of the nanowires, volume expansion and contraction perpendicular to the structural tunnels induced by reversible ion intercalation occurs in a more facile fashion. In this research we demonstrate that chemically controlling morphology and producing particles with nanostructure dimensionality replicating that of atomic structure (i.e., 1D morphology and 1D structure) makes it possible to enhance material performance.
