abstract = {Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) represent a promising frontier for energy storage system, yet the viability is limited by the scarcity of robust cathodes capable of accommodating divalent Zn2+ ions. Herein, we developed a deliberate structural-modulation strategy to yield a unique Zn0.62Li1.2V2(PO4)3 (ZLVP)cathode by controllable chemical pre-zincification. The ZLVP delivers a reversible capacity of 101.5 mAh·g−1 via a two-phase reaction, and exhibits a high voltage of 1.51 V owing to the strong inductive effect of the PO43− framework. Remarkably, the minimal volume variation of only 4.3% during cycling underpins outstanding structural stability, leading to negligible capacity degradation over 5000 cycles. Furthermore, two rocking-chair-type full cells employing either an organic anode (9,10-AQ) or an inorganic anode (TiS2) were assembled, demonstrating the feasibility of the ZLVP cathode. These findings establish a reliable foundation for advancing the practical implementation of aqueous ZIBs.}
