ResumoRecently, rechargeable Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs) have attracted incremental attention as prospective energy storage devices for grid-scale applications and flexible devices, due to their low cost, environmental benignity, high safety and unique properties of the Zn metal. However, the sustained development of high-performance ZIBs is hindered by the limited availability of cathode materials. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate MoS2 with expanded inter-layer spacing (E-MoS2) can be a promising cathode candidate for rechargeable and flexible ZIBs. By X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman studies, a reversible Zn2+ ion intercalation/deintercalation mechanism was revealed. The E-MoS2 electrode delivers a specific capacity of 202.6 mA h g−1 at 0.1 A g−1, a desirable energy density of 148.2 Wh kg−1 and good cycle stability with a capacity retention ratio of 98.6% over 600 cycles. By using the newly-developed starch/ polyacrylamide (PAM) based polymer electrolyte with high zinc ion conductivity, a quasi-solid Zn/E-MoS2 battery was developed, which exhibits decent electrochemical performance even under various heavy deformations, holding great potential for applications in future flexible and wearable devices.
