Dynamic Interfacial Chemistry of Choline Chloride as Electrolyte Additive for Stable Zn‐Iodine Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Choline chloride (ChCl) additive enables dynamic interface engineering in Zn‐I2 batteries by forming hydrophobic polyiodide complexes and a Zn‐stabilizing Ch+‐rich layer under electric field modulation. This dual‐function strategy suppresses iodine hydrolysis and dendrite formation, while optimizing Zn2+ solvation and transport for high‐efficiency ...

Reversible Zn Metal Anodes Enabled by Trace Amounts of Underpotential Deposition Initiators

Angewandte Chemie, 2023
AbstractRoutine electrolyte additives are not effective enough for uniform zinc (Zn) deposition, because they are hard to proactively guide atomic‐level Zn deposition. Here, based on underpotential deposition (UPD), we propose an “escort effect” of electrolyte additives for uniform Zn deposition at the atomic level. With nickel ion (Ni2+) additives, we

A Dual‐Functional Electrolyte Additive for Highly Reversible Zinc‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as a dual‐function additive for aqueous zinc‐ion batteries. TBAB disrupts the hydrogen‐bond network of water while TBA+ adsorbs on Zn to improve interfacial wettability and regulate Zn2+ flux, resulting in suppressed dendrite growth and parasitic reactions. This synergy extended the lifespan of Zn|

Co-Solvent Electrolyte Engineering for Stable Anode-Free Zinc Metal Batteries

, 2022
Anode-free metal batteries can in principle offer higher energy density, but this requires them to have extraordinary Coulombic efficiency (>99.7%). Although Zn-based metal batteries are promising for stationary storage, the parasitic side reactions ...

Self-repairing interphase reconstructed in each cycle for highly reversible aqueous zinc batteries

Nature Communications, 2022
Metallic zinc is an ideal anode material for aqueous rechargeable batteries but reversibility is a challenge. Here, the authors realise a dynamic real-time reconstructed interphase on zinc anode formed by graphitic carbon nitride quantum dot as an ...
