Crystal water intercalated interlayer expanded MoS₂ nanosheets as a cathode for efficient zinc-ion storage

Abstract

Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have attracted tremendous interest among the scientific community in recent years due to their extreme safety, cost-effectiveness, unique properties of Zn anode, and environmental benignity. However, more...

Rational Design of Ni-Doped V2O5@3D Ni Core/Shell Composites for High-Voltage and High-Rate Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries

“…To overcome these issues, researchers are exploring the feasibility of other active metals in energy storage devices to replace LIBs in the future [8,9]. Among all candidates, aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have received increasing attention as promising candidates for large-scale energy storage devices [10] due to the apparent advantages of using metallic Zn as the anode, including its high theoretical capacity (5855 mAh cm −3 ) [11], low redox potential (−0.76 V vs. a standard hydrogen electrode (SHE)) and low-cost benefit from its vast reserve (the cost of Zn (0.5-1.5 USD/lb) is much smaller than that of Li (8-11 USD/lb)) [12][13][14]. However, finding suitable cathode materials for high-performance ZIBs has become a top priority [15][16][17][18][19].…”
