Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have attracted attention for their low cost and environmental friendliness. Unfortunately, commercialization has been hampered by several problems with dendrite growth side reactions. Herein, we select sodium tartrate (TA-Na) as a dual-functional electrolyte additive to enhance the reversibility of AZIBs. The anions are preferentially adsorbed on Zn surface, then highly nucleophilic carboxylate will coordinate Zn2+ promote desolvation [Zn(H2O)6]2+, leading uniform deposition beneficial (002) plane inhibiting reactions growth. Consequently, Zn|Zn cells show long-term cycling stability over 1500 cycles at 0.5 mA cm–2. Moreover, Ta-Na improves performance Zn||MnO2 full cells, evidenced life 1000 1 A g–1 under practical conditions limited anode (negative/positive capacity ratio 10/1) controlled (electrolyte/capacity 20 μL mAh–1).

Abstract Organic additives with high‐reduction potentials are generally applied in aqueous electrolytes to stabilize the Zn anode, while compromise safety and environmental compatibility. Highly concentrated water‐in‐salt have been proposed realize high reversibility of plating/stripping; however, their cost viscosity hinder practical applications. Therefore, exploring low‐concentration salts, that can be used directly anodes, is primary importance. Herein, we developed an asymmetric anion group, bi(difluoromethanesulfonyl)(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (DFTFSI ‐ )‐based novel zinc salt, Zn(DFTFSI) 2 , obtain a ionic conductivity highly stable dendrite‐free anode. Experimental tests theoretical calculations verified DFTFSI − 2+ solvation sheath inner Helmholtz plane would preferentially reduced construct layer‐structured SEI films, inhibiting hydrogen evolution side reactions.
