The inner Helmholtz plane and thus derived solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) are crucial interfacial structure to determine the electrochemical stability of Zn-ion battery (ZIB). In this work, we demonstrate that introducing β-cyclodextrins (CD) as anion-receptors into Zn(OTf)2 aqueous electrolyte could significantly optimize Zn anode SEI for achieving stable ZIB. Specifically, β-CD with macrocyclic holds appropriate cavity size charge distribution encase OTf- anions at metal surface form β-CD@OTf- dominated structure. Meanwhile, electrochemically triggered decomposition in situ convert organic-inorganic hybrid (ZnF2/ZnCO3/ZnS‒(C-O-C/*CF/*CF3)), which efficiently hinder dendrite growth maintain proper mechanical strength guarantee long-term stability. thus-derived | |Zn pouch cell (21 cm2 size) β-CD-containing exhibits a cumulative capacity 6450 mAh−2 cm−2 conditions 10 mAh high areal capacity. This work gives insights reaching ZIB via additive regulation. Here, authors report βcyclodextrins

High-energy electrolytic Zn//MnO2 batteries show potential for grid-scale energy storage, but the severe hydrogen evolution corrosion (HEC) caused by acidic electrolytes results in subdued durability. Here, an all-around protection strategy is reported achieving stable Zn metal anodes. First, a proton-resistant Pb-containing (Pb and Pb(OH)2 ) interface constructed on anode (denoted as Zn@Pb), which situ forms PbSO4 during H2 SO4 protects substrate from HEC. Second, to improve plating/stripping reversibility of Zn@Pb, Pb(CH3 COO)2 additive Zn@Pb-Ad) introduced, triggers precipitation releases trace Pb2+ that can dynamically deposit Pb layer plating suppress The superior HEC resistance stems low affinity H+ , well strong bonding between Pb-Zn or Pb-Pb, increase reaction overpotential barrier. Consequently, Zn@Pb-Ad//MnO2 battery runs stably 630 795 h 0.2 0.1 m electrolytes, respectively, are >40 times better than bare Zn. as-prepared A h-level achieves one-month calendar life, opening door next generation high-durable batteries.

Aqueous zinc (Zn) ion batteries are attractive for next generation with high safety, yet their applications still hindered by the uncontrollable dendrite formation and side reactions on Zn anode. Here, a polyzwitterion protective layer (PZIL) was engineered polymerizing 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) in carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), which renders following merits: choline groups of MPC can preferentially adsorb onto metal to avoid reactions; charged phosphate chelate Zn2+ regulate solvation structure, further improving reaction inhibition; Hofmeister effect between ZnSO4 CMCS enhance interfacial contact during electrochemical characterization. Consequently, symmetrical battery PZIL keep stable more than 1000 hours under ultra-high current density 40 mA cm-2 .

Stable Zn anodes with a high utilization efficiency pose challenge due to notorious dendrite growth and severe side reactions. Therefore, electrolyte additives are developed address these issues. However, the always consumed by electrochemical reactions over cycling, affecting cycling stability. Here, hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA) is reported as an additive for achieving stable of anodes. HMPA reshapes solvation structures promotes anion decomposition, leading in situ formation inorganic-rich solid-electrolyte-interphase. More interestingly, this decomposition does not involve HMPA, preserving its long-term impact on electrolyte. Thus, symmetric cells survive ≈500 h at 10 mA cm-2 mAh or ≈200 40 rate 85.6 %. The full Zn||V2 O5 exhibit record-high cumulative capacity even under lean condition (E/C ratio=12 μL mAh-1 ), limited supply (N/P ratio=1.8) areal (6.6 ).
