High-voltage electrolytic Zn//MnO2 batteries show great potential for large-scale energy storage due to their affordability, eco-friendliness and high safety. However, practical application is hindered by capacity losses incomplete MnO2 dissolution. Herein, we propose the strategy coupling a 1,4-benzoquinone (1,4-BQ)/hydroquinone (HQ) redox mediator pair with in situ modulation of electronic structure through electrolyte engineering facilitate rapid complete During charging discharging processes, Al3+ ions enter lattice co-deposition intercalation, respectively. The incorporated effectively optimize lowering valence state localized MnIV MnIII, thereby facilitating formation inner-sphere complexes HQ molecules. This transformation successfully shifts dominant reaction mechanism between from outer-sphere electron transfer (MnIV-HQ) (MnIII-HQ). Consequently, dissolution can be achieved designed even at an ultrahigh areal 50 mAh cm-2. Furthermore, 750-mAh battery exhibits retention rate 99% after 100 cycles, demonstrating significance regulating mechanisms during strategies.
