Advancing Vanadium MXene Cathodes: Strategic Enhancements for Superior Performance in Zinc‐Ion Batteries

Abstract Vanadium‐based MXenes have gained attention as potential electrode materials for Zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs) because of their layered architecture, excellent electrical conductivity, and tunable redox properties. This review provides strategies such as surface functionalization, interlayer engineering, and hybridization with conductive materials to improve ion diffusion kinetics, structural stability, and energy density. This study addresses several issues including electrode degradation, limited cycling stability, and performance under practical conditions, along with insights into innovative approaches for overcoming these limitations. By summarizing the cutting‐edge developments and offering perspectives on next‐phase research directions, this review aims to guide the strategic enhancement of vanadium MXene cathodes for high‐ efficiency Zinc‐ion batteries, paving the way for their practical application in next‐generation energy storage devices.
