Abstract

Abstract

Ammonium vanadium oxides are promising cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries due to their lightweight and high capacity, however, the controlled synthesis still remains a challenge. A series of ammonium vanadium oxides with different phases and morphologies were successfully synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method with the assistance of ethylene glycol (EG) regulation. The results showed that the product transformed from ribbon-shaped (NH₄)₂V₆O₁₆ to rod-like NH₄V₄O₁₀ with the increase of EG addition from 0 mL to 1.6 mL, and then evolved into plate-like (NH₄)₂V₄O₉ with the addition of 18 mL EG. By Comparison, rod-like NH₄V₄O₁₀ exhibited the best electrochemical performance, demonstrating a high specific capacity of 415.8 mAh/g at the current density of 0.1 A/g, and maintaining a high capacity retention of 94.1% after 12000 cycles at a high current density of 10 A/g. The excellent cycling stability of NH₄V₄O₁₀ can be attributed to its stable layered structure formed by the interactions between oxygen atoms and NH₄⁺ ions. Furthermore, the nanorod-like morphology and evident capacitive effect contribute to the promotion of its rate capability and kinetic properties.
