A Polyanionic Hydrogel Electrolyte with Ion Selective Permeability for Building Ultra‐Stable Zn/I₂ Batteries with 100 °C Wide Temperature Range

Advanced Functional Materials, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 34(29)

Published: March 10, 2024

Abstract The practical applications of aqueous Zn/I 2 batteries (AZIBs) operating within a wide temperature range are severely hindered by the uncontrolled shutting polyiodide ions (I 3 − / I 5 ) and rampant side reactions. In this study, tolerant polyanionic hydrogel (borax‐bacteria cellulose p (AMPS‐AM)) with ion selective permeability is designed for inhibiting effect reactions under extreme temperatures from −50 to 50 °C. zincophilic R−SO significantly enhances transport Zn 2+ cations promotes uniform growth metal along (002) plane. Moreover, abundant hydrophilic groups in hydrogels effectively suppress both hydrogen evolution reaction formation by‐products reducing water reactivity. Furthermore, theoretical calculations, visualization experiment situ Raman spectroscopy confirm that group hinders shuttle process /I anions through electrostatic repulsion. Consequently, gel electrolyte facilitates ultra‐stable full cell at low current density C over 100 A pouch negative/positive capacity ratio 3.3 exhibits stable performance 350 cycles an impressive high‐areal 2.03 mA h cm −2 , thereby establishing solid foundation its applications.

Published: May 8, 2024

The practical applications for aqueous Zn ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising yet still impeded by the severe side reactions on metal. Here, a lysozyme protective layer (LPL) is prepared metal surface simple and facile self-adsorption strategy. LPL exhibits extremely strong adhesion to provide stable interface during long-term cycling. In addition, strategy triggered hydrophobicity-induced aggregation effect endows with gap-free compacted morphology which can reject free water effective reaction inhibition performance. More importantly, conformation transformed from α-helix β-sheet structure before formation, thus abundant functional groups exposed interact

Abstract Fiber‐shaped aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (FAZIBs) with intrinsic safety, highcapacity, and superb omnidirectional flexibility hold promise for wearable energy‐supply devices. However, the interfacial separation of fiber‐shaped electrodes electrolytes caused by Zinc (Zn) stripping process severe Zn dendrites occurring at folded area under bending condition seriously restricts FAZIBs' practical application. Here, an advanced confinement encapsulation strategy is originally reported to construct dual‐layer gel electrolyte consisting high‐fluidity polyvinyl alcohol‐Zn acetate inner layer high‐strength alginate outer anode. Benefiting from synergistic effect inner‐outer formation solid interphase on anode surface lysine additive, resulting Zn‐Zn symmetric cell delivers long cycling life over 800 h 1 mA cm −2 dynamic frequency 0.1 Hz.
