Due to their nontoxicity, low cost, and high capacity, aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have been the subject of substantial research and are considered a viable replacement for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, AZIB cathodes suffer from dissolution and structural collapse during charging and discharging, which severely limits their use. By the in-situ compounding of V2O3 and carbon nanotubes, we developed a unique composite cathode material (V2O3/CNT) to provide oxygen vacancies in the cathode in AZIB, and have achieved a remarkable electrochemical performance (211.6 mAh g−1 after 2000 cycles at 5 A g−1). The V2O3/CNT can maintain a capacity of 137.3 mAh g-1 with a large current density of 10 A g-1 after 4000 cycles. A combination of ex-situ XRD and other characterization techniques revealed that the superior zinc storage of V2O3/CNT is primarily due to its ultra-stable structure, oxygen-rich defects, and H+/Zn2+ co-intercalation mechanism. The in-situ manufacture of oxygen-defective-rich vanadium oxide on carbon nanotubes may be an efficient approach to creating high-performance AZIBs cathode materials.

水系锌离子电池碳纳米管正极上复合三氧化钒的协同 H+/Zn2+ 共插入机制
由于无毒、低成本和高容量,水系锌离子电池 (AZIB) 一直是大量研究的主题,并被认为是锂离子电池 (LIB) 的可行替代品。然而,AZIB正极在充电和放电过程中会发生溶解和结构坍塌,严重限制了它们的使用。通过V 2 O 3和碳纳米管的原位复合,我们开发了一种独特的复合正极材料(V 2 O 3 /CNT),为AZIB正极提供氧空位,并取得了卓越的电化学性能(211.6 mAh g -1在 5 A g -1下 2000 次循环后。V 2 O 3/CNT在4000次循环后可保持137.3 mAh g -1的容量,10 A g -1的大电流密度。结合非原位 XRD 和其他表征技术表明,V 2 O 3 /CNT 的优异锌储存主要归因于其超稳定结构、富氧缺陷和 H + /Zn 2+共嵌入机制. 在碳纳米管上原位制造缺氧富钒氧化物可能是制造高性能 AZIBs 正极材料的有效途径。
