Abstract
Aqueous
zinc‐ion
batteries
(AZIBs)
offer
significant
potential
for
grid‐scale
energy
storage
due
to
their
cost‐effectiveness,
safety,
and
eco‐friendliness.
However,
interfacial
instability
parasitic
reactions
under
extreme
temperatures
(−20

°C)
severely
degrade
cyclability.
To
address
these
limitations,
a
ternary
copolymer
gel
electrolyte
(PAM‐T‐S)
is
developed
through
copolymerization
of
acrylamide
(AM)
with
[2‐(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl(3‐sulfopropyl)ammonium
betaine
(SPE)
thymine
(Thy),
forming
multidimensional

network.
Thy
immobilizes

while
SPE

Synergistically,

Consequently,

Zinc-iodine
batteries
(ZIBs)
face
challenges,
such
as
polyiodide
shuttling,
self-discharge,
and
temperature
sensitivity.
To
overcome
these
issues,
we
developed
a
separator
functionalized
with
an
ionic
covalent
organic
framework
(COF@GF),
which
incorporates
pyridine

active
sites.
The
COF@GF

In

that
COF's
