▎ 摘　　要

Polyaniline (PANI) as a typical conductive polymer has been widely applied in cathode materials of aqueous zinc ion battery (AZIB), owing to the features of high electronic conductivity and simple synthesized methods. However, the cycling instability caused of spontaneous deprotonation still limited the extensive application of PANI cathode materials. In this work, a functionalized commercial graphene (MEG) and PANI composite (MGP-1) was successfully assembled by a facile two-step method. When the MGP-1 acted as cathode material in AZIB, it demonstrated a high capacity of 184.5 mAh/g (0.2 A/g) and excellent rate performance of 137.6 mAh/g (3 A/g) compared to the PANI cathode. The corresponding analysis revealed that the boosted electrochemical behavior of MGP-1 was attributed to the large conductive network fabricated by the MEG and PANI, and the formations of -N-Zn-O- structures during discharging process. Moreover, based on the conventional H+ insertion mechanism, this work furtherly provided a H+ and Zn2+ insertion mechanism. In addition, the utilization of cheap and abundant commercial graphene would allow the graphene/polyaniline composite to be a promising cathode material applied in AZIB.
