However, it is inevitable to see these “pillar” cations leaching from the hosts owing to the loose interaction with negatively charged Helmholtz planes within the hosts and shearing/bulking effects in 2D structures upon guest species (de)intercalation, which implies a limited modulation to prevent them from rapid performance decay. Herein, a new class of layered manganese oxides, Mg0.9Mn3O7·2.7H2O, is proposed for the first time, aims to achieve a robust cathode for high-performance AZIBs. The cathode can deliver a high capacity of 312 mAh g−1 at 0.2 A g−1 and exceptional cycling stability with 92% capacity retention after 5 000 cycles at 5 A g−1. The comprehensive characterizations elucidate its peculiar motif of pined Mg-□Mn-Mg dumbbell configuration along with interstratified hydrogen bond responsible for less Mn migration/dissolution and quasi-zero-strain characters. The revealed new structure-function insights can open up an avenue toward the rational design of superstructural cathodes for reversible AZIBs.	Nov 2022
