• Aqueous zinc-ion batteries hold promise for sustainable energy storage, yet challenges in finding high-performance cathode materials persist. Polyoxovanadates (POVs) are emerging as potential candidates due to their structural diversity and robust redox activity. Despite their potential, issues like dissolution in electrolytes, structural degradation, and byproduct accumulation persist. This work introduces a POV-based hydrophobic two-dimensional (2D) layered superstructure that addresses these challenges. The hydrophobic nature minimizes POV dissolution, enhancing structural stability and inhibiting phase transitions during cycling. The 2D arrangement ensures a larger surface area and improved electronic conductivity, resulting in faster kinetics and higher specific capacity. The superstructure demonstrates improved cycle life and an increased operating voltage, marking a significant advancement in POV-based cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries.
