Zinc-based electrochemistry energy storage with high safety and high theoretical capacity is considered to be a competitive candidate to replace lithium-ion batteries. In electrochemical energy storage, multimetal oxide cathode materials can generally provide a wider electrochemical stability window and a higher capacity compared with single metal oxides cathode. Here, a new type of cathode material, MnFe₂Co₃O₈ nanodots/functional graphene sheets, is designed and used for aqueous hybrid Zn-based energy storage. Coupling with a hybrid electrolyte based on zinc sulfate and potassium hydroxide, the asfabricated battery was able to work with a wide electrochemical window of 0.1~1.8 V, showed a high specific capacity of 660 mAh/g, delivered an ultrahigh energy density of 1135 Wh/kg and a scalable power density of 5754 W/kg (calculated based on the cathode), and displayed a long cycling life of 1000 cycles. These are mainly attributed to the valence charge density distribution in MnFe₂Co₃O₈ nanodots, the good structural strengthening as well as high conductivity of the cathode, and the right electrolyte. Such cathode material also exhibited high electrocatalytic activity for oxygen evolution reaction and thus could be used for constructing a Zn-air battery with an ultrahigh reversible capacity of 9556 mAh/g.
