Unraveling Energy Storage Performance and Mechanism of Metal-Organic Framework-Derived Copper Vanadium Oxides with Tunable Composition for Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries.

Achieving high-performance aqueous zinc (Zn)-ion batteries (AZIBs) requires stable and efficient cathode materials capable of reversible Zn-ion intercalation. Although layered vanadium oxides possess high Zn-ion storage capacity, their sluggish kinetics and poor conductivity present significant hurdles for further enhancing the performance of AZIBs. In response to this challenge, a dissolution-regrowth and conversion approach is formulated using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as a sacrificial template, which enables the in situ creation of copper vanadium oxides (CuVO) with porous 1D channels and distinctive nanoarchitectures.

Hydrogen Peroxide Tuned Morphology and Crystal Structure of Barium Vanadate-Based Nanostructures for Aqueous Zinc-Ion Storage Properties.

Improving the layered-structure stability and suppressing vanadium (V) dissolution during repeated Zn insertion/extraction processes are key to promoting the electrochemical stability of V-based cathodes for aqueous zinc (Zn)-ion batteries (AZIBs).

The formation process of the BVO NSs is controlled by adjusting the concentration of hydrogen peroxide (HO), and these NSs are employed as potential cathode materials for AZIBs.
