Manganese‐based cathode materials are considered as a promising candidate for rechargeable aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs). Suffering from poor conductive and limited structure tolerance, various carbon matrix, especially N‐doped carbon, were employed to incorporate with MnO2 for greatly promoted...
