α-MnO 2 -structured materials are generally classified as semiconductors; thus, we present a strategy to increase electrochemical utilization through the design of a conductive material interface. Surface treatment of silver hollandite (Ag x Mn 8 O 16 ) with Ag + (Ag 2 O) provides significant benefits to the resultant electrochemistry, including a decreased charge-transfer resistance and a 2-fold increase in deliverable energy density at a high rate. The improved function of this designed interface relative to conventional electrode fabrication strategies is highlighted.
