Article Abstract
Ultrathin epitaxial films of ferromagnetic insulators (FMIs) with Curie temperatures near room temperature are critically needed for use in dissipationless quantum computation and spintronic devices. However, such materials are extremely rare. Here, a room-temperature FMI is achieved in ultrathin LaBaMnO films grown on SrTiO substrates via an interface proximity effect. Detailed scanning transmission electron microscopy images clearly demonstrate that MnO octahedral rotations in LaBaMnO close to the interface are strongly suppressed. As determined from in situ X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, O -edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and density functional theory, the realization of the FMI state arises from a reduction of Mn e bandwidth caused by the quenched MnO octahedral rotations. The emerging FMI state in LaBaMnO together with necessary coherent interface achieved with the perovskite substrate gives very high potential for future high performance electronic devices.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have emerged as promising energy storage solutions due to resource abundance and low cost, yet their practical deployment is hindered by limited operating voltages of cathode materials. Herein, we propose a universal ligand-field engineering strategy to enhance voltage through electronic structure modulation in transition metal oxides. Using the NaMgMnO as a model system, weak-field ligands are introduced to alter the coordination environment of MnO octahedra.

The current study presents an unprecedented detailed investigation of the structural, magnetic, electrical, molecular, morphological and compositional analysis of the LaSrMnCoO (LSMCO) nanoparticles synthesized by the sol-gel method and calcinated at 650, 1000, and 1100 °C. Rietveld refinements and FTIR analysis, confirmed the formation of perovskite structure, where Rietveld output was used to trace the effect of calcination temperature on the overall structural properties. The Jahn-Teller distortion in LSMCO was inferred from the rhombohedral distortion, cooperative octahedral tilting/canting, electron distribution density, and shifts in Mn-O bond absorbance.

The deployment of manganese dioxide (MnO) in high-performance aqueous energy storage is frequently hampered by Jahn-Teller (J-T) distortion linked to unstable high-spin Mn ions, causing structural degradation and performance decay that conventional static modifications struggle to fully resolve. To overcome these limitations, a potential-window-driven in-situ activation strategy is presented, employing cyclic voltammetry on MnO precursors, to achieve control over both MnO crystal structure and Mn⁺ spin states. Optimal in-situ transformation potential-window yields MnO within 0-1.

Aqueous zinc ion batteries are promising candidates for next-generation energy storage systems. However, the practical application of zinc metal anodes is hindered by the challenge of uncontrollable zinc-dendrite growth. Herein, axial-coordinated manganese single atoms, anchored by N, Cl co-coordinating on self-standing carbon nanofibers, are designed to guide uniform Zn deposition.

Manganese oxides (MnO) have been confirmed as the most promising candidates for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) due to their cost-effectiveness, high theoretical capacity, high voltage platforms, and environmental friendliness. However, in practical applications, AZIBs are hindered by the Jahn-Teller distortion (JTD) effect, primarily induced by Mn (te) in octahedral coordination, which leads to severe structural deformation, rapid capacity fading, and poor cycling stability. This review systematically outlines the fundamental mechanisms of JTD in MnO cathodes, including electronic structure changes, lattice distortions, and their side effects on Zn storage performance.
