摘 要: | Aqueous rechargeable zinc-ion battery(ZIB)is considered to be a potential energy storage system for large-scale applications due to its environmental friendliness,high safety,and low cost.However,it remains challenging to develop suitable cathode materials with high specific capacity and long-term cyclic stability.Herein,we have fabricated freestanding Sr0.19V2O51.3H2O/carbon nanotubes(SrVO/CNTs)composite films with different mass ratios by incorporating SrVO into CNTs network.The synthesized SrVO possesses a large interlayer spacing of 1.31 nm,which facilitates Zn(2+)diffusion.Furthermore,the SrVO/CNTs composite film with conductive network structure promotes electron transfer and ensures good contact between SrVO and CNTs during the long-term cycling process.As a result,the battery based on the SrVO/CNTs composite cathode with a mass ratio of 7:3 delivers a specific capacity of 326 mAh·g-1at 0.1 A·g-1and 145 mAh·g-1at 5 A·g-1,demonstrating a high capacity and excellent rate capability.Remarkably,the assembled ZIB shows good capacity retention of 91%even after ultra-long cycling for 7500 cycles at a high current rate of 5 Ag-1.More importantly,the battery also delivers a high energy density and power density,as 290 Wh·kg-1at 125 W·kg-1(0.1 A·g-1),or 115 Wh·kg-1at 6078 W·kg-1(5 Ag-1).The results demonstrate that the SrVO/CNTs composite is a promising cathode toward large-scale energy storage applications.
