abstract = "To research potential replacements for LiMn2O4, this work carries out a synthesis of ZnMn2O4
(ZMO) through the glycine-nitrate combustion. XRPD validates its phase characterization; electron microscopy confirmed the presence of single phase ZMO in the form of curvy and rod-shaped sub-micron sized
particles at an average of 113 nm. This work is novel for its electrochemical measurements of ZMO as a
cathodic material for alkali-ion batteries, performed by cyclic voltammetry in aqueous solutions of ZnCl2 and
NaNO3 ranging from 5 to 100 mV s–1 polarization rates, yielding stable capacities for both electrolytes. The
highest capacities were obtained for the polarization speed of 5 mV s–1 for both electrolytes. Their cathode
capacities were 11.3 and 27.2 mA h g–1 for ZnCl2 and NaNO3, respectively. Concerning Na-ions batteries,
the surface storage is the deciding factor due to the adsorption of Na+ ions on the λ-MnO2 phase. Unlike Znions, Na+ ions cannot intercalate into the spinel structured materials.",
