We report theNH
4 + intercalated V2 O5 , i.e. (NH4 )2 V10 O25 •8H2 O, with excellent electrochemical performance as cathode in aqueous zinc-ion battery (ZIBs), as compared to V2 O5 , Na5 V12 O32 and K2 V8 O21 . This work reveals that the ionic conductivity of Zn2+ can be enhanced by introducing cations into the V2O5 framework and the vanadium oxygen structural units will be rearranged. Compared to a single layer of vanadium pentoxide consisting solely of VO5 units, the electrochemical performance of the structural units rearranged vanadates shows a significant improvement. As a result, the obtained (NH4 )2 V10 O25 •8H2 O delivers high discharge capacity (376 mA h g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 ), superior rate capability up to 10 A g-1 , excellent cycling stability (a capacity retention over 93% for 1000 cycles) and high energy density (341 Wh kg-1 ).
