<p>The pressing need for sustainable energy storage solutions has spurred significant progress in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). Still, challenges persist with cathode materials regarding capacity, cycling stability, and structural integrity. This study presents a V₂O₅/WS₂ composite cathode, developed through scalable physical blending, which synergistically tackles these limitations. By combining the high specific capacity of V₂O₅ with the structural robustness of WS₂, the composite enhances conductivity and accelerates charge transfer. The electrochemical evaluation revealed that the composite exhibits superior multiplier performance and a substantial specific capacity of 384 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.5 A g⁻¹, outperforming both V₂O₅ (358 mAh g⁻¹) and WS₂ (176 mAh g⁻¹) cathodes. The composite also demonstrates exceptional cycling stability, retaining 80% of its capacity after 1,550 cycles, far surpassing V₂O₅ (45%) and WS₂ (18%). Field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman testing confirmed the composition and reaction mechanism of the prepared V₂O₅/WS₂. With its scalable production, balanced high-energy–density storage, rapid charging capability, and mechanical durability, the V₂O₅/WS₂ composite lays out a practical blueprint for the next generation of AZIBs, meeting critical demands for grid-scale renewable energy storage.</p>
