By introducing oxygen vacancies, the electrochemical performance of vanadium oxide compounds was improved, enhancing conductivity and interfacial activity, promoting reaction kinetics, and achieving superior cyclic stability and high specific capacity. Vacancy design proved to be an effective strategy for obtaining electrode materials with excellent comprehensive properties.
The semiconductor nature of the vanadium oxide compound determines its low conductivity, which is not conducive to the transfer of electrons and affects the performance of an aqueous zinc ion battery (AZIB). Therefore, herein, an efficient strategy was proposed to improve the electrochemical performance of stainless steel (SS) supported highly crosslinked foam-like Cu3V2O7(OH)(2)center dot 2H(2)O (CVO-SS-2) by creating oxygen vacancies. The effect of oxygen vacancy on the electrochemical behavior of Cu3V2O7(OH)(2)center dot 2H(2)O grown on SS (O-d -CVO-SS-2) was investigated. The experimental results show that the introduction of oxygen vacancies into the lattice significantly produces low oxidation state Cu and V species, thereby improving the conductivity and the interfacial activity of the O-d -CVO-SS-2, promoting the reaction kinetics and enabling it to show more excellent electrochemical performance. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed that oxygen vacancy can effectively reduce the adsorption energy of Zn2+ ions. This means that the adsorption/desorption process of Zn2+ ions on O-d-CVO-SS-2 is more reversible than that on pure CVO-SS-2. The O-d-CVO-SS-2 electrode shows a high specific capacity of 269.2 mAh g(-1) at a current density of 0.2 A g(-1) after 100 cycles and excellent cyclic stability (88.2% retention after 3000 cycles 4 A g(-1)), higher than that of CVO-SS-2 (171.1 mAh g(-1) at 0.2 A g(-1)). Besides, the energy storage mechanism of Zn2+ was studied by different ex-situ characterization methods. Vacancy design is an effective way to obtain electrode materials with excellent comprehensive properties.
