According to foreign media reports, researchers at Qingdao University used a single-step hydrothermal method to synthesize VO2@VS2 hollow nanospheres to create effective cathode materials that can be used in zinc-ion batteries.
This powerful heterostructure significantly improves battery performance, providing a reversible capacity of 468 mAh g−1 and still achieving 85% capacity retention after 1000 cycles.
