Design Strategy of High Stability Vertically Aligned RGOV2O5 Heterostructure Cathodes for Flexible Quasi-Solid-State Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries

Among various cathodes for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), vanadium-based oxides have garnered significant attention in research circles owing to their exceptionally high theoretical specific capacity. However, the outstanding zinc storage capacity of vanadium pentoxide is constrained by its irreversible dissolution in an aqueous solution. Here, we propose a laser reduction of graphene oxide and construct a heterostructure of V2O5 coated with vertically aligned reduced graphene oxide (VrGO). The VrGO nanosheets effectively suppress the dissolution of V2O5 and provide channels for the efficient transport of zinc ions and electrons, so the electrochemical reaction kinetics of the electrode are improved. The AZIB based on the VrGOV2O5 heterostructure cathode has a high specific capacity of 254.9 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 and excellent cycle stability with a capacity retention rate of 90.1% after 5000 cycles of charge and discharge. When assembled into a flexible quasi-solid-state AZIB, the capacity of the device is reduced by only 2% after 1000 bending cycles, showing good potential for wearable applications. This work provides a reliable strategy for designing flexible AZIB with high electrochemical performance and structural stability.
