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).

Aqueous aluminum-ion batteries (AAIBs) are considered as a promising alternative to lithium-ion due their large theoretical capacity, high safety, and low cost. However, the uneven deposition, hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), corrosion during cycling impede development of AAIBs, especially under harsh environment. Here, hydrated eutectic electrolyte (AATH40) composed Al(OTf)3, acetonitrile (AN), triethyl phosphate (TEP), H2O was designed improve electrochemical performance AAIBs in wide temperature range. The combination molecular dynamics simulations spectroscopy analysis reveals that AATH40 has less-water-solvated structure [Al(AN)2(TEP)(OTf)2(H2O)]3+, which effectively inhibits side reactions, decreases freezing point, extends window electrolyte. Furthermore, formation solid interface, HER corrosion, been demonstrated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, diffraction tests, situ differential mass spectrometry. Additionally, operando synchrotron Fourier transform infrared quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring reveal three-electron storage mechanism for Al//polyaniline full cells.

Such impressive improvement assigned alleviation interfacial accumulation by adsorption solid interphase formation. Accordingly, strongly acidified electrolyte, associated with sedated crossover anodic toward NVO, remarkably mitigate its undesired dissolution phase transition. interrupted communication two electrodes endows Zn||NVO superb cycling stability, at both low high scan rates.
