Sulfolane as an additive to regulate Zn anode in aqueous Zn-ion batteries
Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 2023 Aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) have attracted strong attention for widespread applications because of their safety, cheapness and ecological amiability. Nevertheless, challenges exist at the Zn anode such as the side reactions. Here, a small amount of sulfolane (SL) (1 vol%) was added into the typical ZnSO4 electrolyte as an additive.
