Abstract Three‐dimensional (3D) carbon materials are often used as carriers for anchoring iodine in zinc‐iodine batteries (ZIBs). However, the physical stacking of during electrode assembly process, weaker interactions between non‐polar and species, scarcity catalytic sites conversion led to a reduced activity redox reaction, which fails completely inhibit shuttling species. Here, 3D ultrafine Cu‐anchored CNT‐rGO (3D Cu@CNT‐rGO) with interconnected structures prepared using simple laser‐induced reduction strategy. The microporous structure excellent electrical conductivity Cu@CNT‐rGO make it an ideal host iodine. Ultrafine Cu nanoparticles introduce catalysts accelerate kinetics, efficiently catalyze iodine/polyiodide conversion, polyiodide shuttling, enhance electrochemical performance ZIBs. fabricated zinc‐iodide micro‐batteries (ZIMBs) delivers high specific area capacity 1.29 mAh cm −2 , energy density (1.55 mWh ) power (33.58 mW well cyclin stability (80% retention after 4000 cycles). Meanwhile, ZIMBs have mechanical flexibility great potential application field integrated, miniaturized flexible electronic devices.

The rechargeable zinc-iodine (Zn-I2) battery is a promising energy storage system due to its high theoretical capacity, low cost, and safety. So far, most researchers agree that the poor electrical conductivity of iodine shuttling polyiodide lead rapid decrease in capacity coulombic efficiency (CE) during cycling, which seriously hinders their further development application. Herein, understand polyidide effects Zn-I2 battery, we utilize I3-/I- electrolytes as active source coupled with carbon cloth, devoid-of-iodine (I2) loading cathode, simulate behavior based on concept dual-ion system. Experiments show these batteries exhibit specific 0.24 mAh·cm-2 at 1.0 A·cm-2 0.2 20 A·cm-2, corresponding 1.0~1.3 mg mass I2, 2I-/I2 redox couple (221 mAh·g-1). It noteworthy inclusion enhances electrochemical activity, advantageous for performance; however, it limited polyiodine reduction Zn surface (Zn + I3- → 3I- Zn2+).
