Abstract

Herein, we report morphology controlled growth of layered V₂O₅ on V₂C by the oxidation of V-MXenes at different temperatures and used it as a cathode material for Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs). Hence, the V₂O₅ nanoparticles are uniformly grown on the V₂C nanosheets with interlinked disordered carbon which provide fast diffusion and high rate performance in aqueous zinc-ion batteries.
