It is urgent to develop high-performance cathode materials for rechargeable batteries to address the globally growing concerns of energy shortage and environmental pollution. Among many candidate materials, Mn-based materials are promising and already used in some commercial batteries. Yet, their applicable future in reversible energy storage is severely plagued by the notorious Mn dissolution behaviors associated with structural instability during long-term cycling. As such, interfacial strategies aiming to protect Mn-based electrodes against Mn dissolution are being widely developed in recent years. A variety of interface-driven designs have been reported to function efficiently in suppressing Mn dissolution, necessitating a timely summary of recent advancements in the field. In this review, various interfaces, including the prebuilt interface and the electrochemically induced interface, to suppress Mn dissolution for Mn-based cathodes are discussed in terms of their fabrication details and functional outcomes. Perspectives for the future of interfacial strategies aiming at Mn dissolution suppression are also shared.
