Engineering Trace‐Amount Electrolyte Additives for Aqueous Zinc Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Large‐amount additives primarily modify the bulk electrolyte by coordinating with Zn2+ or reshaping the hydrogen‐bond network, thereby altering the overall solution chemistry. In contrast, trace‐amount additives mainly operate at the electrode–electrolyte interface, regulating Zn deposition through electric double‐layer modulation, interfacial ...
