The development of a high specific capacity and stable vanadium-based cathode material is very attractive for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). Herein, an electrochemically oxidized cathode is fabricated based on a VO@MXene cathode for Zn-ion storage. VO@MXene undergoes a phase transition to Zn(OH)VO·2HO and ZnVO on the first charge, thus allowing for the subsequent insertion/de-insertion of zinc ions, which can be regulated by the amount of HO in the electrolyte. The MXene in the composite was also beneficial to electron transfer and cycling stability. VO@MXene delivered a high capacity of 450 mA h g at 0.2 A g, ultra-high-rate performance and cycling stability as well as high energy density.
