Abstract

Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs) are gaining attention due to their low cost, high capacity and efficiency, and strong cycling stability; nevertheless, further research is required to establish suitable cathode materials for the intercalation of Zn ions. Due to the layered structure, vanadium oxide–based materials are considered promising cathode materials of ZIB devices using gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs). The GPEs are considered a good alternative to liquid electrolytes due to their flexibility, leakage-free nature, and reduced Zn corrosion in Zn-based batteries. This work presents a carboxymethylcellulose and polyvinyl alcohol polymer matrix-based gel polymer electrolyte for applications in ZIBs for the first time. The polymer matrix shows an uptake of 150 wt% after immersion in 2 M ZnSO₄ electrolyte solution for 50 h. The as synthesized GPE has an ionic conductivity of 0.6 × 10⁻² cm⁻¹Ω⁻¹ and a thickness of 120 µm. The electrochemical results of the fabricated ZIB device fabricated using V₃O₇.H₂O cathode material exhibit a high specific capacity of 505 mAh/g at 0.1 A/g current density.

期刊介绍： Electrocatalysis is cross-disciplinary in nature, and attracts the interest of chemists, physicists, biochemists, surface and materials scientists, and engineers. Electrocatalysis provides the unique international forum solely dedicated to the exchange of novel ideas in electrocatalysis for academic, government, and industrial researchers. Quick publication of new results, concepts, and inventions made involving Electrocatalysis stimulates scientific discoveries and breakthroughs, promotes the scientific and engineering concepts that are critical to the development of novel electrochemical technologies. Electrocatalysis publishes original submissions in the form of letters, research papers, review articles, book reviews, and educational papers. Letters are preliminary reports that communicate new and important findings. Regular research papers are complete reports of new results, and their analysis and discussion. Review articles critically and constructively examine development in areas of electrocatalysis that are of broad interest and importance. Educational papers discuss important concepts whose understanding is vital to advances in theoretical and experimental aspects of electrochemical reactions.
