Abstract
Aqueous
zinc‐ion
batteries
(AZIBs)
offer
significant
potential
for
grid‐scale
energy
storage
due
to
their
cost‐effectiveness,
safety,
and
eco‐friendliness.
However,
interfacial
instability
parasitic
reactions
under
extreme
temperatures
(−20

°C)
severely
degrade
cyclability.
To
address
these
limitations,
a
ternary
copolymer
gel
electrolyte
(PAM‐T‐S)
is
developed
through
copolymerization
of
acrylamide
(AM)
with
[2‐(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl(3‐sulfopropyl)ammonium
betaine
(SPE)
thymine
(Thy),
forming
multidimensional
crosslinked
network.
Thy
immobilizes

while
SPE
establishes

pathways,
boosting

Synergistically,
reconstruct

solvation
sheath

hybrid
organic–inorganic
solid

(SEI)
via
preferential
adsorption

effectively
inhibiting

Consequently,

cell
retains

highlighting
its

This

advances

Zinc-iodine
batteries
(ZIBs)
face
challenges,
such
as
polyiodide
shuttling,
self-discharge,
and
temperature
sensitivity.
To
overcome
these
issues,
we
developed
a
separator
functionalized
with
an
ionic
covalent
organic
framework
(COF@GF),
which
incorporates

The
