Abstract The electrochemical performance of aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) is highly dependent on the electric double layer (EDL) properties at Zn electrode/electrolyte interface. Herein, a novel reconfigured EDL constructed via double‐charged theanine (TN) additive for super‐stable and deep‐rechargeable AZMBs. Experiments theoretical computations unravel that positively charged TN not only serves as preferential anchor to form water‐poor Helmholtz plane onto anode, but also its anionic end could coordinate with 2+ tailor solvation structure in diffusion further reconstruct inner H‐bonds networks, thus effectively guiding uniform deposition suppressing water‐induced side reactions. Consequently, Zn//Zn cells acquire outstanding cycling stabilities nearly 800 h high depth discharge 80%. Moreover, Zn//VOX full deliver substantial capacity retention (94.12% after 1400 cycles 2 A g −1 ) under practical conditions. Importantly, designed 2.7 Ah pouch cell harvests recorded energy density 42.3 Wh Kg 79.5 L –1 , remarkable 85.93% 220 50 mA . This innovative design concept reshape chemistry would inject fresh vitality into developing advanced AZMBs beyond.

Zn–Mn batteries with two-electron conversion reactions simultaneously on the cathode and anode harvest a high voltage plateau energy density. However, zinc faces dendrite growth parasitic side while Mn2+/MnO2 reaction involves oxygen evolution possesses poor reversibility. Herein, novel nanomicellar electrolyte using methylurea (Mu) has been developed that can encapsulate ions in nanodomain structure to guide homogeneous deposition of Zn2+/Mn2+ form controlled release under an external electric field.

Опубликована: Сен. 29, 2023

The sustained water consumption and uncontrollable dendrite growth strongly hamper the practical applications of rechargeable zinc (Zn) metal batteries (ZMBs). Herein, for first time, we demonstrate that trace amount chelate ligand additive can serve as a "molecular sieve-like" interfacial barrier achieve highly efficient Zn plating/stripping. As verified by theoretical modeling experimental investigations, benzenesulfonic acid groups on molecular not only facilitates its solubility selective adsorption anode, but also effectively accelerates de-solvation kinetics Zn2+ . Meanwhile, central porphyrin ring expels free molecules from via chemical binding against hydrogen evolution, reversibly releases captured to endow dendrite-free deposition. By virtue this non-consumable additive, high average plating/stripping efficiency 99.7 % over 2100 cycles together with extended lifespan suppressed decomposition in Zn||MnO2 full battery were achieved, thus opening new avenue developing durable ZMBs.

Abstract Zinc–iodine batteries have the potential to offer high energy‐density aqueous energy storage, but their lifetime is limited by rampant dendrite growth and concurrent parasite side reactions on Zn anode, as well shuttling of polyiodides. Herein, a cation‐conduction dominated hydrogel electrolyte designed holistically enhance stability both zinc anode iodine cathode. In this electrolyte, anions are covalently anchored chains, major mobile ions in restricted be 2+ . Specifically, such cation‐conductive results ion transference number (0.81) within guides epitaxial nucleation. Furthermore, optimized solvation structure reconstructed hydrogen bond networks chains contribute reduced desolvation barrier suppressed corrosion reactions. On cathode side, electrostatic repulsion between negative sulfonate groups polyiodides hinders loss active material. This all‐round design renders zinc–iodine with reversibility, low self‐discharge, long lifespan.

Polymer Molecules Adsorption‐Induced Zincophilic‐Hydrophobic Protective Layer Enables Highly Stable Zn Metal Anodes

Advanced Materials, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 36(16)

Опубликована: Янв. 5, 2024

Zn metal, as one of the most promising anode materials for aqueous batteries, suffers from uncontrollable dendrite growth and water-induced parasitic reactions, which drastically compromise its cycle life Coulombic efficiency (CE). Herein, a nonionic amphipathic additive Tween-20 (TW20) is proposed that bears both zincophilic hydrophobic units. The segment TW20 preferentially adsorbs on anode, while exposed electrolyte side, forming an electrolyte-facing layer shields active water molecules. Moreover, theoretical calculation experimental results reveal can induce preferential (002) plane by adsorbing other facets, enabling dendrite-free anodes. Benefitting these advantages, stability reversibility anodes are substantially improved, reflected stable cycling over 2500 h at 1.0 mA cm
