[0002] The scarce lithium resources in the Earth's crust, the potential safety risks of organic electrolytes and the high production costs of commercial lithium-ion batteries have led researchers to never stop seeking to develop a safe, efficient and clean alternative solution.
[0003] Among them, aqueous zinc-ion batteries are considered to be one of the most promising candidate materials. Aqueous zinc-ion batteries have the following advantages: (1) low redox potential (-0.763 V, compared to standard hydrogen electrode).

Compared with positive electrode materials such as manganese-based and Prussian blue analogues, vanadium-based materials have become one of the most promising electrode materials in aqueous zinc-ion battery positive electrode materials due to their flexible and diverse open skeleton structure. Among them, ammonium vanadate NH4V4O 10 It has attracted widespread attention due to its large interlayer spacing and theoretical specific capacity. However, during the cycle, ammonium vanadate materials experience irreversible deamination, which can easily cause structural collapse and lead to poor cycle performance, restricting its application in aqueous zinc-ion battery systems.
