Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries are recently gaining incremental attention because of low cost and material abundance, but their development is plagued by limited choices of cathode materials with satisfactory cycling performance. The polyoxometalates perform formidable redox stability and able to participate in multi-electron transfer, which was well-suited for energy storage. Herein, a bi-component polyoxometalate-derivative KNiVO (K₂[Ni(H₂O)₆]₂[V₁₀O₂₈]·4H₂O polyoxometalates after annealing) is firstly demonstrated as a cathode material for aqueous ZIBs. The layered KV₃O₈ (KVO) In the bi-component material constitutes Zn²⁺ migration and storage channels (K⁺ were substantially replaced by Zn²⁺ in the activation phase), and the three-dimensional NiV₃O₈ (NiVO) part acts as skeleton to stabilize the ion channels, which assist the cell to demonstrate a high-rate capacity and specific energy of 229.4 mAh/g and satisfactory cyclability (capacity retention of 99.1% after 4500 cycles at a current density of 4 A/g). These results prove the feasibility of POM as cathode materials precursor and put forward a novel pattern of the Zn²⁺ storage mechanism in the activated-KNiVO clusters, which also provide a new route for selecting or designing high-performance cathode for aqueous ZIBs and other advanced battery systems.
