Summary: Mn-based aqueous electrochemical energy storage devices (AEESDs) show promising potential for sustainable and flexible energy applications due to their environmental benefits, high capacity, and versatile architecture. The introduction of Mn2+ ions into the electrolyte can enhance the electrochemical performance by triggering a reversible solid/liquid reaction process. However, the complex energy storage mechanism involving Mn2+/MnO2 deposition/dissolution and proton and metal ion insertion/extraction poses a challenge for the rational design of Mn-based AEESDs. Addressing these issues requires systematic investigation and the development of new insights.
