Zinc‐Ion Batteries: Electronic Structure Regulation of Layered Vanadium Oxide via Interlayer Doping Strategy toward Superior High‐Rate and Low‐Temperature Zinc‐Ion Batteries (Adv. Funct. Mater. 6/2020)

In article number 1907684, Cheng Chao Li and co-workers demonstrate that interlayer Mn2+ ions–doped layered vanadium oxide composites with a narrowed direct bandgap manifest fast electrons/ions transport kinetics and good structural stability. When evaluated as cathodes for zinc-ion batteries, the as-prepared electrode delivers superior zinc-ion storage properties in terms of high specific capacity, stable cycling capability, excellent rate, and low-temperature performance.
