Vanadium‐Based Cathodic Materials of Aqueous Zn‐Ion Battery for Superior‐Performance with Prolonged‐Life Cycle

Abstract

Aqueous Zn‐ion battery systems (AZIBs) have emerged as the most dependable solution, as demonstrated by successful systematic growth over the past few years. Cost effectivity, high performance and power density with prolonged life cycle are some major reason of the recent progress in AZIBs. Development of vanadium‐based cathodic materials for AZIBs has appeared widely. This review contains a brief display of the basic facts and history of AZIBs. An insight section on zinc storage mechanism ramifications is given. A detailed discussion is conducted on features of high‐performance and long life‐time cathodes. Such features include design, modifications, electrochemical and cyclic performance, along with stability and zinc storage pathway of vanadium based cathodes from 2018 to 2022. Finally, this review outlines obstacles and opportunities with encouragement for gathering a strong conviction for future advancement in vanadium‐based cathodes for AZIBs.

“…Among the array of potential candidates, vanadium oxide (VO x ) stands out due to its remarkable theoretical specific capacity and cost-effectiveness. 14,15 Notably, its substantial tunneling pores and layered spacing facilitate efficient Zn 2+ storage, rendering it an attractive choice for AZIB applications. However, VO x faces practical limitations in terms of its poor electronic conductance, leading to its restricted rate a School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shaanxi University of Technology, Hanzhong, 723000, China.…”

“…[6][7][8] Lithium-ion batteries have been a leading energy storage technology for all applications since the 1990s, owing to their prolonged life cycle, efficient power conversion capability, simple mechanical preparation, and sufficient storage ability. [9,10] However, their development has been hindered by price hikes, low energy density, and security concerns. [11,12] Therefore, it is vital to reduce the price of batteries to facilitate their progress in a wide range of technological disciplines.…”

“…[13][14][15][16] Metal-air batteries have recently emerged as a promising solution, garnering significant attention. [10,17,18] Their high energy density, which is several times greater than that of lithium-ion batteries, is a notable advantage. [19] Similar to fuel cells, these batteries generate electricity through a redox process between the metal anode and the porous structured cathode, which is supplied with oxygen from the air.…”
