Layer structure metal oxides are promising energy storage materials for rechargeable batteries. However, they are still hindered by insufficient ion storage sites and sluggish ion diffusion kinetics during ion insertion/extraction, leading to unsatisfactory battery performance. Herein, we have successfully designed layer structure metal oxides with regulated dual-ion defects via the ion exchange and annealing processes. As for demonstration, a K iv TO ev @Ti anode with dual-ion defects by incorporating with the interlaminar K vacancies and layer edge O vacancies in layer structure potassium titanate (KTO) was synthesized for Zn ion batteries. The bionic defects in the K iv TO ev @Ti anode are indicated to provide extra space for potent Zn ion storage and enhance the Zn ion diffusion rate. Complete inner layer structure and residual interlayer K ion pillars ensure that the K iv TO ev @Ti anode has highly structural stability and reversible electrochemistry. Therefore, K iv TO ev @Ti delivers a favorable Zn ion storage capability of 179.2 mAh g −1 at 0.05 A g −1 , and a remarkable cycling stability of 82% capacity retention after 5000 cycles at 0.5 A g −1 . The Zn x MnO 2 //K iv TO ev @Ti full cell presents an excellent power/ energy density of 583.5 W kg −1 /97.8 Wh kg −1 , respectively, and maintains a capacity retention of 90% after 5000 cycles. This work can enlighten material engineering for energy storage area.
