The selection and development of cathode of alkaline zinc batteries (AZBs) is still hindered and often leads to poor rate capability and short cycle life. Here, amorphous hollow nickel-cobalt-based sulfides nanocages with nanosheet arrays (AM-NCS) are designed and constructed with ZIF-67 as the self-template to exchange with Ni²⁺ and S²⁻ by using a two-step ion exchange method. The synthesized AM-NCS possess the high specific capacity (160 mAh/g at 2 A/g), and the assembled battery has excellent rate performance (146 mAh/g reversible capacity at 5 A/g). The assembled device has excellent rate performance (155 mAh/g at 2 A/g) and long cycling stability (7000 cycles, 62.5% of initial capacity). The excellent electrochemical properties of the electrode materials are mainly attributed to the unique structure, in particular, polyhedron structure with hollow structure can improve the cyclic stability, and the amorphous structure can expose more reactive sites on the surfaces of nickel, cobalt and sulfur. This work provides a new strategy for the design and fabrication of high performance cathode materials for AZBs.
