A novel vanadium‐based cathode, KMnVOH, was synthesized via a microwave‐assisted method, achieving 260 mAh g−1 at 5 C with 94 % retention over 2000 cycles in aqueous Zn(CF₃SO₃)₂ electrolyte. Its stability stems from interlayer water, K, and Mn ions enhancing the layered structure. A dual proton/Zn ion charge storage mechanism involving ZHT formation is
