Abstract The undesirable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) primarily contributes to the instability of Zn anode, which exacerbates corrosion and dendrite growth impedes application metal battery in large‐scale energy storage. Although engineering functional aqueous electrolyte prominently controls HER, it hardly eradicates occurrence HER from source. Herein, this research utilizes coupling donor–acceptor bonds (H‐bonds) manipulate structure design a novel methanol (MeOH)‐based anhydrous organic with propylene carbonate (PC) as co‐solvent, fundamentally eliminating accompanied by suppressed growth. PC molecules acceptor strengthen H‐bonds networks between MeOH donor weaken interaction cations anions, enhancing stability reducing anion‐involved by‐products formation. Meanwhile, preferential adsorbed on anode surface form favorable component‐dominated solid interface layer, inducing uniform deposition along (002) orientation. Consequently, exhibits excellent cycling high reversibility. assembled cells also harvest satisfactory low‐temperature tolerance. More importantly, corresponding Zn||PANI full cell pouch behave an impressive capacity retention 92.4% 91.1% after 3200 1400 cycles, respectively.

Advanced Materials, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 21, 2025

Abstract Low‐concentration electrolytes (LCEs) present significant potential for actual applications because of their cost‐effectiveness, low viscosity, reduced side reactions, and wide‐temperature electrochemical stability. However, current electrolyte research predominantly focuses on regulation strategies conventional 1 m electrolytes, high‐concentration localized leaving design principles, optimization methods, prospects LCEs inadequately summarized. face unique challenges that cannot be addressed by the existing theories approaches applicable to three common mentioned above; thus, tailored provide development guidance are urgently needed. Herein, a systematic overview recent progress in is provided subsequent directions suggested. This review proposes core challenge high solvent ratio LCEs, which triggers unstable organic‐enriched electrolyte/electrode interface formation anion depletion near anode. On basis these issues, modification including passivation construction solvent‒anion interaction optimization, used various rechargeable battery systems. Finally, role advanced simulations cutting‐edge characterization techniques revealing LCE failure mechanisms further highlighted, offering new perspectives future practical application next‐generation batteries.
