ABSTRACT
The utilization rate of active sites in cathode materials for Zn-based batteries is a key factor determining the reversible capacities. However, a long-neglected issue of the strong electrostatic repulsions among divalent Zn2+ in hosts inevitably causes the squander of some active sites (i.e., gap sites). Herein, we address this conundrum by unraveling the "gap-filling" mechanism of multiple charge carriers in aqueous Zn-MoS2 batteries. The tailored MoS2 /(reduced graphene quantum dots) hybrid features an ultra-large interlayer spacing (2.34â
nm), superior electrical conductivity/hydrophilicity, and robust layered structure, demonstrating highly reversible NH4 + /Zn2+ /H+ co-insertion/extraction chemistry in the 1â
M ZnSO4 +0.5â
M (NH4 )2 SO4 aqueous electrolyte. The NH4 + and H+ ions can act as gap fillers to fully utilize the active sites and screen electrostatic interactions to accelerate the Zn2+ diffusion. Thus, unprecedentedly high rate capability (439.5 and 104.3â
mAh g-1 at 0.1 and 30â
A g-1 , respectively) and ultra-long cycling life (8000 cycles) are achieved.
