Abstract
Using a confinement growth strategy, shell-anchored N-doped (NSA) VS2 has been synthesized within hollow mesoporous carbon spheres as a cathode material in aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs). The VS2@NSA composite exhibits a novel three-step deintercalation process across a broad voltage range (0–1 V), significantly boosting Zn2+ storage capacity. Notably, the shell-anchored structure of VS2@NSA effectively mitigates the pulverization and volume expansion issues associated with extensive Zn2+ insertion. Furthermore, VS2@NSA exhibited the excellent cycle stability of 282.4 mA h/g at 1 A/g after 500 cycles. Massive Zn2+ insertion did not cause excessive volume variation and structure destruction that can be effectively inhibited by the confined structure of VS2@NSA.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied.
Electrochemistry is a wide ranging area that is in a state of continuous evolution. Rather than compiling a long list of topics covered by the Journal, the editors would like to draw particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. Papers should present new and interesting electrochemical science in a way that is accessible to the reader. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of the Journal. Reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical will not be accepted. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected by the Editors. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially new insights into electrochemical processes.
