Abstract Despite promising performance at ambient temperature, the development of aqueous zinc batteries is jeopardized by freeze electrolytes and deteriorative electrode‐electrolyte interphase low temperatures. Herein, inspired cryoprotective mechanism extracellular polysaccharides in biological organisms, a quaternized galactomannan polysaccharide (q‐GPA) proposed as additive for improving low‐temperature batteries. Mechanistic studies revealed that multi‐hydroxyl backbone can substantially attenuate activity water molecules through reconfiguration hydrogen bond network, which inhibits ice crystal formation subzero temperatures thus depress freezing point electrolyte. Meanwhile, quaternary ammonium groups tethered on q‐GPA skeleton are intended to neutralize interfacial electric field electrostatic repulsion, thereby accelerating Zn 2+ deposition kinetics prohibiting dendrite growth. Impressively, q‐GPA–modified electrolyte enables an extended lifespan over 1700 h Zn||Zn symmetric battery high current density 3 mA cm −2 ultralong cycle life 5000 cycles with capacity retention 99.2% Zn||Na 2 V 6 O 16 ·1.5H (NVO) full −30 °C.

Reconstruction of Electric Double Layer on the Anode Interface by Localized Electronic Structure Engineering for Aqueous Zn Ion Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(29)

Published: May 7, 2024

Abstract The electric double layer (EDL) at the electrode/electrolyte interface plays a crucial role to electrochemical reactions of zinc ion batteries. For Zn anode, EDL consists H 2 O dipoles, which can cause corrosion and passivation. Herein, localized electronic‐rich (LER) structure performing as soild electrolyte interphase (SEI) changes electron distribution, leading rapid capture 2+ , thus promoting desolvation cH shell. Moreover, LER generates an electrostatic repulsion effect SO 4 2− . Consequently, unique O‐poor is reconstructed with distribution ‐H O‐SO inhibits side improves deposition kinetics In situ Raman intuitively confirms that zinc‐ion‐flux uniform during whole electroplating process. regulator for structure, leads smooth fast deposition. performance enhancement demonstrated by LER@Zn//LER@Zn cells, exhibit exceptional lifespan 4800 h.

Abstract Zinc metal stands out as a promising anode material due to its exceptional theoretical capacity, impressive energy density, and low redox potential. However, challenges such zinc dendrite growth, corrosion, side reactions in aqueous electrolytes significantly impede the practical application of anodes. Herein, 3‐(1‐pyridinio)‐1‐propanesulfonate (PPS) is introduced zwitterionic additive achieve long‐term highly reversible Zn plating/stripping. Due orientation polarization with force electric field, PPS π–π conjugated pyridinio cations strong coordination ability sulfonate anion tends generate dynamic adsorption layer build unique water–poor interface. steric hindrance effect can attract solvated 2+ , thereby promoting desolvation process. Moreover, by providing large number nucleation sites inducing ion flow, preferred (002) crystal plane be achieved. Therefore, interfacial electrochemical reduction kinetics regulated uniform deposition ensured. Owing these advantages, Zn//Zn symmetrical cell exhibits remarkable cycling stability exceeding 2340 h (1 mA cm −2 1 ). The Zn//V 2 O 5 full also delivers stable for up 6000 cycles.
