AbstractMgSO4 is chosen as an additive to address the capacity fading issue in the rechargeable zinc-ion battery system of MgxV2O5·nH2O//ZnSO4//zinc. Electrolytes with different concentration ratios of ZnSO4 and MgSO4 are investigated. The batteries measured in the 1 M ZnSO4−1 M MgSO4 electrolyte outplay other competitors, which deliver a high specific capacity of 374 mAh g−1 at a current density of 100 mA g−1 and exhibit a competitive rate performance with the reversible capacity of 175 mAh g−1 at 5 A g−1. This study provides a promising route to improve the performance of vanadium-based cathodes for aqueous zinc-ion batteries with electrolyte optimization in cost-effective electrolytes.

Flower-like C@V2O5 microspheres with high specific capacity were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. The microstructure, specific capacity and electrochemical properties of C@V2O5 microspheres were studied. Results showed that the C@V2O5 microspheres with a diameter of ∼3 m are covered over by V2O5 nanosheets, and therefore have a large surface area which is almost 5 times higher than that of pure V2O5 powders. Moreover, the initial specific capacity of C@V2O5 microsphere is as high as 247.42 mAh · g–1, and after 100 cycles, the capacity retention rate is still 99.4%. Compared with pure V2O5, flower-like C@V2O5 microspheres show higher discharge specific capacity, better rate performance and more stable cycling performance.

In this article, Ag2O/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) nanocomposite has been prepared by chemical reduction method and used as a cathode material for zinc-silver batteries. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) tests reveal the CNTs and Ag2O nanotubes form an interpenetrating network structure. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis confirmed that the Ag2O shows Cubic (Pn-3) crystal structure and mixture element states in the nanocomposite. The charging/discharging property of the Ag2O/CNTs nanocomposite was studied by galvanostatic charge-discharge measurement as a cathode material. The results indicated that Ag2O/CNTs nanocomposite has high specific capacity and good cycling stability. For the current density of 0.53 mA/cm2 (2.5C), the initial specific capacity of the nanocomposite is 190 mAh/g and remains 172 mAh/g after 20 cycles.

Li3VO4 has gained significant attention as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries owing to its high specific capacity, low cost and safe working potential. Unfortunately, its disappointing electronic conductivity limits its rate performance. To address this problem, a series of Cr[Formula: see text]-doped Li3VO4 compounds are synthesized by solid-state reaction. The obtained Li[Formula: see text]Cr[Formula: see text]V[Formula: see text]O4 compounds ([Formula: see text] and 0.02) have the same orthorhombic crystal structure (Pnm21 space group), suggesting the successful Cr[Formula: see text] doping in Li3VO4. Compared with Li3VO4, Li[Formula: see text]Cr[Formula: see text]V[Formula: see text]O4 exhibits a two orders of magnitude larger electronic conductivity. Additional benefits of the Cr[Formula: see text] doping include the increase of the Li[Formula: see text] diffusion coefficient and the decrease of the particle size. Consequently, Li[Formula: see text]Cr[Formula: see text]V[Formula: see text]O4 displays not only a large reversible capacity (363[Formula: see text]mAh g[Formula: see text] at 60[Formula: see text]mA g[Formula: see text] and superior cyclic stability (86.6% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 1200[Formula: see text]mA g[Formula: see text] but also decent rate performance (147[Formula: see text]mAh g[Formula: see text] at 1200[Formula: see text]mA g[Formula: see text].
