Theoretically monolayer MnO₂ sheets have an impressive high capacity of 616 mAh/g, but practically monolayer MnO₂ sheets have poor performances due partially to monolayer restacking. In this paper, we report the preparation of three-dimensional porous NiO nanorod pillared δ-MnO₂ nanosheets as integrated nanoarchitectures as lithium-free cathode materials. The as-synthesized NiO pillared δ-MnO₂ nanosheets have resulted in a moderately high specific capacity of 185 mA h g^–1, with more than 63% capacity retention after 200 cycles. In comparison, 2D MnO₂ nanosheets without NiO pillared structures only achieved a low initial capacity of 137 mA h g^–1, with just 17% capacity retention after 200 cycles. The dramatically improved electrochemical performances could be attributed to high surface areas with excellent porosity which provides more electrochemically active sites and thermodynamically favorable insertion pathways for the lithium ions. Furthermore, our results reveal that insertion of pillars is a promising strategy to explore in order to mitigate the restacking issues and achieve electrochemical performances close to theoretical values for monolayer MnO₂.
