As one of the representative vanadium-based electrode materials for aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs), VO 2 (B) owns excellent cycling stability and specific capacity, but the strong interlattice interactions lead to poor rate performance. Herein, multiphase, high ion diffusion rate Mg 2 VO 4 /VO 2 (MVO/ VO) heterostructures composed of nanoparticles were introduced and constructed based on a solid preinsertion method. The electrochemical results show that the MVO/VO electrode has excellent cycling stability and impressively high capacity and ion diffusion rate compared with pure VO 2 (B) (VO) and Mg 2 VO 4 (MVO). Moreover, the reversible capacity of MVO/VO is found to be 393.6 mA h g −1 at a relatively low current density (0.3 A g −1 ). The MVO/VO electrode still exhibits a capacity retention of 83.6% even after 1000 charge/discharge applications, which indicates a stable performance. Finally, this contribution offers insights into the design of high-capacity and high ion diffusion rate AZIB cathode materials.
