Summary: V2O3@C microspheres were developed to enhance conductivity and stability of phase changes in cathodes for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). ZIBs prepared with V2O3@C cathodes exhibited a specific capacity of 420 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 and a reversible capacity of 132 mA h g-1 at 21.0 A g-1. After 2000 cycles, the electrode maintained a capacity of 202 mA h g-1 at 5.0 A g-1.
