Abstract
Magnesium vanadium bronze, MgV6O16·6H2O, is demonstrated as a cathode material for aqueous zinc batteries. Its remarkable electrochemical performance is attributed to the hydrated magnesium pillar layer, which enhances zinc ion diffusion into the structure, yielding a high initial discharge capacity of 298 mAh g−1 and capacity retention above 97 % after 300 cycles. Zinc ions and protons are co-intercalated into the MgV6O16·6H2O structure, while zinc hydroxide sulfate forms on the surface during the discharge process. Ex-situ X-ray diffraction results and elemental analyses confirm the zinc and proton co-intercalation reaction within the MgV6O16·6H2O structure during cycling, providing detailed insights into the electrochemical mechanisms. These findings demonstrate the potential of MgV6O16·6H2O as a high-energy cathode material for aqueous zinc batteries and offer a comprehensive understanding of the zinc ion and proton co-intercalation mechanism in the MgV6O16·6H2O structure.
