Distinct from the conventional I3-/I- redox couple (1.299 V), I3-/I2 (1.552 V) can enhance output voltage and achieve higher energy density, which exhibits great development potential. However, sluggish solid-liquid reaction rate, high conversion barrier, polyiodide solubility in aqueous electrolytes together hinder its development, especially at a low N/P ratio. Herein, we introduce an approach to fast liquid-liquid kinetics lower barrier for valence iodine electrochemistry of I3-/I2, by coupling chemical liquefaction (MPII ionic liquid) chelating catalyst (triazine-based poly(ionic liquid), PIL-tri). The MPII spontaneously react with solid I2 generate liquid MPII3, increasing contact sites accelerating kinetics. Besides, PIL-tri significantly lowers I3- restricts triiodide shuttling distinctive iodide-π (I-π) conjugation electron cloud. Such synergistic effect kinetically thermodynamically ensures couple. Consequently, PIL-tri@GP Zn-polyiodide batteries demonstrate (1.47 long cycling (800 cycles), high-areal-capacity twice that graphite paper (1.2 harsh ratio (1). Meanwhile, they exhibited polarity-switchable characteristic maintained stable cyclability 300 cycles when anode cathode were reversed every 50 cycles.
