Synthesis of Zn²⁺-Pre-Intercalated V₂O₅·nH₂O/rGO Composite with Boosted Electrochemical Properties for Aqueous Zn-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: Layered vanadium-based materials are considered to be great potential electrode materials for aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs). The improvement of the electrochemical properties of vanadium-based materials is a hot research topic but still a challenge. Herein, a composite of Zn-ion pre-intercalated V₂O₅·nH₂O combined with reduced graphene oxide (ZnVOH/rGO) is synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method and it shows improved Zn-ion storage. ZnVOH/rGO delivers a capacity of 325 mAh·g^-1 at 0.1 A·g^-1, and this value can still reach 210 mAh·g^-1 after 100 cycles. Additionally, it exhibits 196 mAh·g^-1 and keeps 161 mAh·g^-1 after 1200 cycles at 4 A·g^-1. The achieved performances are much higher than
