The commercialization of electrolytic MnO2-Zn batteries is highly applauded owing to the advantages of cost-effectiveness,high safety,high energy density,and durable working performance.However,due to the low reversibility of the cathode MnO2/Mn2+chemistry at high areal capacities and the severe Zn anode corrosion,the practical application of MnO2-Zn batteries is hampered by inadequate lifespan.Leveraging the full advantage of an iodine redox mediator,here we design a highly rechargeable electrolytic MnO2-Zn battery with a high areal capacity.The MnO2-Zn battery coupled with an iodine mediator in a mild electrolyte shows a high discharge voltage of 1.85 V and a robust areal capacity of 10 mAh cm-2 under a substantial discharge current density of 160 mA cm-2.The MnO2/l2-Zn battery with an areal capacity of 10 mAh cm-2 exhibits prolonged stability of over 950 cycles under a high-capacity retention of~94%.The scaled-up MnO2/I2-Zn battery reveals a stable cycle life under a cell capacity of~600 mAh.Moreover,our constructed MnO2/l2-Zn battery demonstrates a practical energy density of~37 Wh kg-1 and a competitive energy cost of<18 US$ kWh-1 by taking into account the cathode,anode,and electrolyte.The MnO2/I2-Zn battery,with its remarkable reversibility and reasonable energy density,enlightens a new arena of large-scale energy storage devices.
