Babneet Kaur et al.

Summary: A non-aqueous zinc ion battery with a wide operational voltage window and high Coulombic efficiency was successfully fabricated. The battery overcomes structural instability and low electrical conductivity issues in both the cathode and the anode by using a conducting polymer layer. The cathode consists of VS4 nanoflowers and carbon nanotubes, outperforming pristine VS4 nanoflowers due to enhanced electrical conductivity, easy electron and ion transfer and transport, effective buffering of volume changes, and better accessibility of active sites. This work lays the foundation for developing zinc ion batteries with ultra-long lifespan and high energy density as advanced energy storage systems.
