Manganese-based cathode materials are considered as a promising candidate for rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). Suffering from poor conductive and limited structure tolerance, various carbon matrix, especially N-doped carbon, were employed to incorporate with MnO2 for greatly promoted electrochemical performances. However, the related underlying mechanism is still unknown, which is unfavorable to guide the design of high performance electrode. Herein, by incorporating layered MnO2 with N-doped carbon nanowires, a free-standing cat...
