Abstract
Layered hydrate vanadates are promising cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). Various intercalants have been preinserted into the interplanar space of hydrate vanadates with significantly enhanced kinetics and stabilized structures. However, such an enhancement is induced by various intercalants, and the relationship between the property enhancement and the type of intercalant still needs to be revealed. In this work, the distortion of octahedra induced by the preintercalation of benzyltrimethylammonium (BTA+) cations into hydrate vanadium pentoxide (V2O5·nH2O, VOH) and the change in ligand field are studied using synchrotron X-ray pair distribution function (PDF) and X-ray absorption fine…
