Gas evolution reactions in aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) cause gas accumulation and battery swelling that negatively affect their performance. However, previous work often reported hydrogen as the main, if not only, species evolved AZMBs; complexity of has been overlooked. For first time, this found CO2 reaction (CER) AZMBs, pinpointed its sources, identified electrolyte modulation strategies. Using differential electrochemical mass spectrometry, CER was detected V2O5||Zn full cells, instead asymmetric Cu||Zn it became substantial when being charged to 2.0 V. By using a carbon isotope tracing method, primary origin corrosion conductive at cathode. Among six representative electrolytes, weakly solvating (3 m Zn(OTf)2 acetonitrile/water) presented high resistance by reducing water disturbing bonding. This sheds light on interfacial parasitic for practical (Zn Al) batteries.

Silicon (Si) is considered a promising anode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical specific capacity and earth-abundancy. However, challenges such as significant volume expansion, unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation in incompatible electrolytes, slow transport lead poor cycling rate performance. In this work, it demonstrated that superior cyclability capability of Si anodes can be achieved using ethyl fluoroacetate (EFA) fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) solvents with low binding energy Li+ but sufficiently relative dielectric constants. By weakening the interaction between solvent, barrier desolvation process lowered, while ensuring conductivity diffusion Li+. As result, silicon-carbon optimized exhibits excellent performance, work reversibly 1709.1 mAh g-1 proceeds over 250 cycles retains 85.2% at 0.2C. Furthermore, Si/C‖LiFePO4 (LFP) full cell shows an extended service life more than 500 cycles. This offers valuable insights into design weakly solvating electrolytes high-performance Si-based batteries.

Abstract The issues of active iodine dissolution and polyiodide shuttle severely hinder the development zinc‐iodine batteries (ZIBs). Binder engineering is considered a valid strategy to kill two birds with one stone. Herein, sodium lignosulfonate (LS), an important derivative lignin, optimized as neotype binder for fabrication iodine‐loading cathode. Owing existence ‐SO 3 Na group, electrostatic potential LS molecule contains both negative positive regions, which prefer block behavior through repulsion effect, adsorb polyiodides attraction respectively. Meanwhile, holds more Gibbs free energies consecutive radical reaction, much stronger adsorption species, manifesting fast conversion reaction kinetics, effective inhibition behavior. As expected, ZIBs based on delivers high capacity 153.6 mAh g −1 after 400 cycles at 0.1 A , reversible 152.8 500 0.5 (50 °C), durable cycling stability 12000 5 implying excellent fixation ability binder. This work guides design special iodine‐based electrodes facilitates practical application ZIBs.

Conversion-type transition metal-based materials (MZx) are considered promising cathodes for lithium metal batteries due to their low cost, abundant availability, and high theoretical energy density. However, they suffer from rapid capacity decay caused by the transformation into two inhomogeneous phases during discharge. Herein, we use a pulse current discharge activation method (under 3C) induce homogeneous phase nucleations. As result, microsized FeS2 cathode transforms mixture of nanosized Fe Li2S, effectively mitigating volume expansion. It exhibits exceptional cycling performance, delivering specific 572.8 mAh g–1 after 800 cycles at 0.33C. Even areal 5.4 cm–2, it undergoes 180 with retention 89.3% This work highlights crucial role nucleation in achieving long life conversion-type cathodes.

Pyrite FeS2, recognized as a promising conversion-type cathode material for high-energy-density batteries, encounters rapid decline in capacity due to the polysulfide shuttle effect. To tackle these challenges, this study introduces nonflammable locally concentrated ionic liquid electrolyte (LCILE) composed of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI), 1-vinylpropyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (AMImTFSI), and 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether (TTE). This manifests tailored solvation structure with FSI-TFSI dual-anion-dominated aggregates (AGGs), which effectively mitigates effect polysulfides fosters formation robust dual-anion-derived cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) on FeS2 cathode. Consequently, Li/FeS2 battery sustains 627 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles high retention rate 90%, significantly bolsters cyclic stability research offers insight into design advanced electrolytes future batteries.
