ABSTRACT
Vanadium oxides have been regarded as highly promising cathodes for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). However, obtaining high-performance vanadium oxide-based cathodes suitable for industrial application remains a significant challenge due to the need for cost-effective, straightforward, and efficient preparation methods. Herein, we present a facile and rapid synthesis of a composite cathode, consisting of layer-stacked VO2/V2O5 and graphene-like carbon nanosheets, in just 2.5 s by treating the commercial V2O5 powder via a flash Joule heating strategy. When employed as the cathode for ZIBs, the resulting composite delivers a comparable rate capacity of 459 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 and remarkable cycle stabilities of 355.5 mA h g-1 after 2500 cycles at 1.0 A g-1 and 169.5 mA h g-1 after 10,000 cycles at 10 A g-1, respectively. Further electrochemical analysis reveals that the impressive performance is attributed to the accelerated charge transfer and the alleviated structure degradation, facilitated by the abundant sites and a built-in electric field of the layer-stacked VO2/V2O5 heterostructure, as well as the excellent conductivity of graphene-like carbon nanosheets. This work introduces a unique approach for ultrafast and low-cost fabrication of high-performance vanadium oxide-based composite cathodes toward efficient ZIBs.
