As an effective energy storage technology, rechargeable batteries have long been considered as a promising solution for grid integration of intermittent renewables (such as solar and wind energy). Ho.
However, its development has largely been stalled by the issues of high cost, safety and energy density. Here, we report an aqueous manganese–lead battery for large-scale energy storage, which involves the MnO 2 /Mn 2+ redox as the cathode reaction and PbSO 4 /Pb redox as the anode reaction.
What is a manganese-hydrogen battery?
The manganese–hydrogen battery involves low-cost abundant materials and has the potential to be scaled up for large-scale energy storage. The ever-increasing global energy consumption has driven the development of renewable energy technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution 1, 2.

Is manganese a good ion for energy storage?
Manganese (Mn) on the other hand is an abundant (about 12 times more abundant than Zn (11)), safe, and inexpensive element, (12) and its salts are highly soluble in water. These advantageous characteristics make Mn an ideal ion for large-scale energy storage applications.
Could a metal-manganese battery replace hydrogen?
And the flammable H 2 sealed in battery is dangerous to large-scale application for energy storage. Replacing the hydrogen with metal electrode (such as Cu) to form metal-manganese battery might be a practicable idea, which has been patented by our group in 2018 . Very recently, several groups investigated this Cu-Mn battery, .
Is there a rechargeable aqueous manganese-ion battery based on intercalation chemistry?
