Driven by safety issues, environmental concerns, and high costs, rechargeable aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs) have received increasing attention in recent years owing to their unique advantages. However, the sluggish kinetics of divalent charge Zn2+ in the cathode materials caused by the strong electrostatic interaction and their unsatisfactory cycle life hinder the development of ZIBs. Herein, organic cations and Zn2+ ions co‐pre‐inserted vanadium oxide ([N(CH3)4]0.77,Zn0.23)V8O20·3.8H2O are reported as the cathode for ultra‐stable aqueous ZIBs, in which the weaker electrostatic interactions between Zn2+ and organic ion‐pinned vanadium oxide can induce the high reversibility of Zn2+ insertion and extraction, thereby improving the cycle life. It is demonstrated that ([N(CH3)4]0.77,Zn0.23)V8O20·3.8H2O cathodes deliver a discharge capacity of 181 mA h g−1 at 8 A g−1 and ultra‐long life span (99.5% capacity retention after 2000 cycles). A reversible Zn2+/H+ ions (de)intercalation storage process and pseudocapacitive charge storage are characterized. The weaker interactions between organic ion and Zn2+ open a novel avenue for the design of highly reversible cathode materials with long‐term cycling stability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
