Aqueous alkaline zinc batteries (AZBs) exhibit great potential due to their high capacity, high safety and low cost. However, despite these advantages, the lack of high stability and high utilization rate makes the search for high-performance cathode materials a great challenge. Here, an amorphous nickel boride/rGO (NiB/rGO) complex structure was designed. As a result of abundant unsaturated active sites and synergistic electronic effects, amorphous NiB exhibits excellent energy storage properties. As well as having high electrical conductivity, rGO avoids aggregation of NiB nanoparticles, ensuring that NiB/rGO electrodes have a high energy storage capacity. The structure has a strong adhesion between NiB and rGO, which protects its stable structure and extends its life. More importantly, the NiB/rGO//Zn full battery shows remarkable capacity (228.4 mAh/g at 2 A/g), extraordinary cycle durability (93.7% retained after 1000 cycles) and strong energy density 399.7 Wh/kg, when coupled with NiB/rGO cathode. This work will also shed light on other nickel-zinc batteries in order to achieve super durability and capacity.
