Abstract The practical application of aqueous zinc-ion batteries for large-grid scale systems is still hindered by uncontrolled zinc dendrite and side reactions. Regulating the electrical double layer via electrode/electrolyte interface an effective strategy to improve stability Zn anodes. Herein, we report ultrathin zincophilic ZnS as a model regulator. At given cycling current, cell with Zn@ZnS electrode displays lower potential drop over Helmholtz (stern layer) suppressed diffuse layer, indicating regulated charge distribution decreased electric repulsion force.

Abstract Aqueous zinc‐metal batteries (AZMBs) usually suffered from poor reversibility and limited lifespan because of serious water induced side‐reactions, hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) rampant zinc (Zn) dendrite growth. Reducing the content molecules within Zn‐ion solvation sheaths can effectively suppress those inherent defects AZMBs. In this work, we originally discovered that two carbonyl groups N‐Acetyl‐ϵ‐caprolactam (N‐ac) chelating ligand serve as dual sites to coordinate with Zn 2+ , thereby minimizing sheaths, greatly inhibit water‐induced side‐reactions HER. Moreover, N‐ac additive form a unique physical barrier interface on surface, preventing harmful contacting water. addition, preferential adsorption (002) facets promote highly reversible dendrite‐free deposition. As result, Zn//Cu half‐cell added electrolyte delivered ultra‐high 99.89 % Coulombic efficiency during 8000 cycles. Zn//Zn symmetric cells also demonstrated unprecedented long life more than 9800 hours (over one year). Zn//ZnV 6 O 16 ⋅ 8H 2 (Zn//ZVO) full‐cell preserved 78 capacity even after ultra‐long 2000 A practical pouch‐cell was obtained (90.2 100 cycles).
