Electrolyte Engineering Challenges and Opportunities for Next‐Generation Aqueous Ammonium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Aqueous ammonium‐ion batteries (AAIBs) face a hydrogen‐bond paradox: the HB network enables fast NH4+ transport but triggers water decomposition. This review dissects this dilemma, evaluates multiple electrolyte engineering strategies, and outlines four future directions for next‐generation AAIB design ABSTRACT Aqueous ammonium‐ion batteries (AAIBs ...

2D Vermiculite Nanosheets Encapsulated in Hydrogel Electrolyte for Shuttle-Free and Dendrite-Inhibited Zinc-Iodine Batteries. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
A dual‐network hydrogel was prepared via a one‐pot method, incorporating vermiculite nanosheets as an additive. The negatively charged vermiculite nanosheets not only coordinate with zinc ions to facilitate Zn plating/stripping and suppress Zn dendrite growth, but also adsorb polyiodides to inhibit the shuttle effect, which significantly improves the ...
