Abstract
ConspectusZinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are highly promising for large-scale energy storage because of their safety, high energy/power density, low cost, and eco-friendliness. Vanadium-based compounds are attractive cathodes because of their versatile structures and multielectron redox processes (+5 to +3), leading to high capacity. Layered structures or 3-dimensional open tunnel frameworks allow easy movement of zinc-ions without breaking the structure apart, offering superior rate-performance. However, challenges such as dissolution and phase transformation hinder the long-term stability of vanadium-based cathodes in ZIBs. Although significant research has been dedicated to understanding the mechanisms and…
