Abstract
2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have garnered significant interest as cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) due to their open transport channels and abundant Zn2+ intercalation sites. However, unmodified TMDs exhibit low electrochemical activity and poor kinetics owing to the high binding energy and large hydration radius of divalent Zn2+ . To overcome these limitations, an interlayer engineering strategy is proposed where K+ is preintercalated into K-MoS2 nanosheets, which then undergo in situ growth on carbon nanospheres (denoted as K-MoS2 @C nanoflowers). This strategy stimulates in-plane redox-active sites, expands the interlayer spacing (from 6.16 to 9.42 Å), and induces the formation of abundant MoS2 1T-phase. The K-MoS2 @C cathode demonstrates excellent redox activity and fast kinetics, attributed to the potassium ions acting as a structural "stabilizer" and an electrostatic interaction "shield," accelerating charge transfer, promoting Zn2+ diffusion, and ensuring structural stability. Meanwhile, the carbon nanospheres serve as a 3D conductive network for Zn2+ and enhance the cathode's hydrophilicity. More significantly, the outstanding electrochemical performance of K-MoS2 @C, along with its superior biocompatibility and degradability of its related components, can enable an implantable energy supply, providing novel opportunities for the application of transient electronics.

Abstract
To overcome the disadvantages of the MoS2 anode for LIBs in terms of low intrinsic conductivity, poor mechanical stability, and adverse reaction with electrolytes, a 3D multilevel heterostructure (VANS-MoS2-CNTs) has been successfully prepared by a simple hydrothermal method followed by thermal treatment. VANS-MoS2-CNTs are made up of 2D vertically aligned MoS2 nanosheets (VANS) and 1D sandwich C-MoS2-C nanotubes (CNTs). The sandwich-like nanotube is the core part, which is made up of the MoS2 nanotube covered by carbon layers on both side surfaces. Due to the special heterostructure, VANS-MoS2-CNTs have good conductivity, high structured stability, and excellent Li+/electron transport, resulting in high discharge capacity (1587 mAh/g at a current density of 0.1 A/g), excellent rate capacity (1330 and 730 mAh/g at current densities of 0.1 and 2 A/g, respectively), and good cyclic stability (1270 mAh/g at 0.1 A/g after 100 cycles).
