ABSTRACT
Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising systems for energy storage due to their operational safety, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, the development of suitable cathode materials is plagued by the sluggish dynamics of Zn2+ with strong electrostatic interaction. Herein, an Al3+-doped tremella-like layered Al0.15V2O5·1.01H2O (A-VOH) cathode material with a large pore diameter and high specific surface area is demonstrated to greatly boost electrochemical performance as ZIB cathodes. Resultant ZIBs with a 3 M Zn(CF3SO3)2 electrolyte deliver a high specific discharge capacity of 510.5 mAh g-1 (0.05 A g-1), and an excellent energy storage performance is well maintained with a specific capacity of 144 mAh g-1 (10 A g-1) even after ultralong 10,000 cycles. The decent electrochemical performance roots in the novel tremella-like structure and the interlayer of Al3+ ions and water molecules, which could improve the electrochemical reaction kinetics and structural long cycle stability. Furthermore, the assembled coin-type cells could power a light-emitting diode (LED) lamp for 2 days. We believed that the design philosophy of unique morphology with abundant active sites for Zn2+ storage will boost the development of competitive cathodes for high-performance aqueous batteries.
