VO with a nanosheet structure was employed as a cathode material for aqueous zinc metal batteries. VO delivered a high specific capacity of 425 mA h g, outstanding rate performance and durable cycling with high capacity retention of 86% after 3000 cycles. Moreover, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) were employed to ascertain the reaction mechanism of Zn storage.

Article Synopsis
- Layered vanadium pentoxide (VO) is a promising cathode material for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) but has limitations due to its fragile structure and slow zinc migration.* -
- A dual-cations intercalation strategy using manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn) enhances the performance of the VO, resulting in the new (MnZn)VO (MZVO) electrode with impressive capacity and stability.* -
- The MZVO exhibits a reversible capacity of 463 mA h g and maintains 94% capacity after 1000 cycles, with performance improvements attributed to faster Zn migration and structural stability as shown by DFT calculations and operando XRD analysis.*

Interlayer intercalation engineering shows great feasibility to improve the structure stability of the layered oxides. Although high Zn-storage capability has been attained based on the pillar effect of multifarious intercalants, an in-depth understanding the synergistic effect of intercalated multiple metal ions is still in deficiency. Herein, alkali metal ion K, alkaline earth metal ion Mg and trivalent metal ion Al are introduced into the VO interlayer of VO.

Ammonium vanadate with stable bi-layered structure and superior mass-specific capacity have emerged as competitive cathode materials for aqueous rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). Nevertheless, fragile NH…O bonds and too strong electrostatic interaction by virtue of excessive NH will lead to sluggish Zn ion mobility, further largely affects the electro-chemical performance of ammonium vanadate in AZIBs. The present work incorporates polypyrrole (PPy) to partially replace NH in NHVO (NVO), resulting in the significantly enlarged interlayers (from 10.

Rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) have gained considerable attention owing to their low cost and high safety, but dendrite growth, low plating/stripping efficiency, surface passivation, and self-erosion of the Zn metal anode are hindering their application. Herein, a one-step molecular engineering strategy for the simultaneous construction of hierarchical MoS double-layer nanotubes (MoS-DLTs) with expanded layer-spacing, oxygen doping, structural defects, and an abundant 1T-phase is proposed, which are designed as an intercalation-type anode for "rocking-chair" AZIBs, avoiding the Zn anode issues and therefore displaying a long cycling life. Benefiting from the structural optimization and molecular engineering, the Zn diffusion efficiency and interface reaction kinetics of MoS-DLTs are enhanced.

Aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) are considered as promising energy storage devices in the post-lithium-ion era, due to their high energy density, low cost, high safety, and environmental benignity, however their commercialization is hindered by the sluggish diffusion kinetics of cathode materials due to the large hydrate Zn radius. In this work, we propose a unique structure inheritance strategy for preparing BiS micro-straws in which a metal-organic framework (MOF) denoted as Bi-PYDC (PYDC = 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate) with a string of [BiO] chains is judiciously selected as the structure-directing template to induce the formation of micro-straws based on a topochemical reaction. The distinctive hollow structure significantly enhances the ionic storage kinetics.
