Investigating the NH₄⁺ Preintercalation and Surface Coordination Effects on MnO₂ for Ammonium-Ion Supercapacitors

Ion preintercalation is an effective method for fine-tuning the electrochemical characteristics of electrode materials, thereby enhancing the performance of aqueous ammonium-ion hybrid supercapacitors (A-HSCs). However, much of the current research on ion preintercalation lacks controllability, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we employ a two-step electrochemical activation approach, involving galvanostatic charge-discharge and cyclic voltammetry, to modulate the preintercalation of NH
