Vanadium‐Containing Layered Materials as High‐Performance Cathodes for Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

The world is currently in the midst of a climate crises and many across globe are competing to find new technologies create clean, effective ways harnessing renewable energy sources. However, this needs be stored current systems simply would not last. Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) with vanadium-containing cathodes recently arising technology providing cheap, safe, eco-friendly alternative systems. Vanadium material that has long been used for electrochemical due its large range stable oxidation states. Most common vanadium oxide (V2O5) renowned open layered framework manipulatable structure. only proposed use ZIBs. family comprised four main sub-categories under which materials can classified: oxides, phosphates, vanadates, O2-free compounds. This report delves into specifics each these sub-families further develop understanding their functionality by highlighting structural morphological characteristics, aptitude modification, corresponding properties. Through investigation, application ZIB highlighted future development aims considered.
