Electrolyte engineering for optimizing anode/electrolyte interface towards superior aqueous zinc-ion batteries:A review

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries(AZIBs) are promising candidates for the large-scale energy storage systems due to their high intrinsic safety,cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness.However,issues such as dendrite growth,hydrogen evolution reaction,and interfacial passivation occurring at the anode/electrolyte interface(AEI) have hindered their practical application.Constructing a stable AEI plays a key role in regulating zinc deposition and improving the cycle life of AZIBs.The fundamentals of AEI and the challenges faced by the Zn anode due to unstable interfaces are discussed.A comprehensive summary of electrolyte regulation strategies by electrolyte engineering to achieve a stable Zn anode is provided.The effectiveness evaluation techniques for stable AEI are also analyzed,including the interfacial chemistry and surface morphology evolution of the Zn anode.Finally,suggestions and perspectives for future research are offered about enabling a durable and stable AEI via electrolyte engineering,which may pave the way for developing high-performance AZIBs.

Designing Conformal Electrode-electrolyte Interface by Semi-solid NaK Anode for Sodium Metal Batteries

Solid-state Na metal batteries(SSNBs),known for its low cost,high safety,and high energy density,hold a significant position in the next generation of rechargeable batteries.However,the urgent challenge of poor interfacial contact in solid-state electrolytes has hindered the commercialization of SSNBs.Driven by the concept of intimate electrode-electrolyte interface design,this study employs a combination of NaK alloy and carbon nanotubes to prepare a semi-solid NaK(NKC)anode.Unlike traditional Na anodes,the paintable paste-like NKC anode exhibits superior adhesion and interface compatibility with both current collectors and gel electrolytes,significantly enhancing the intimate contact of electrode-electrolyte interface.Additionally,the filling of SiO_(2)nanoparticles improves the wettability of NaK alloy on gel polymer electrolytes,further achieving a conformal interface contact.Consequently,the overpotential of the NKC symmetric cell is markedly lower than that of the Na symmetric cell when subjected to a long cycle of 300 h.The full cell coupled with Na_(3)V_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)cathodes had an initial discharge capacity of 106.8 mAh·g^(-1)with a capacity retention of 89.61%after 300 cycles,and a high discharge capacity of 88.1 mAh·g^(-1)even at a high rate of 10 C.The outstanding electrochemical performance highlights the promising application potential of the NKC electrode.

Advanced flame-retardant electrolyte for highly stabilized K-ion storage in graphite anode

Although graphite anodes operated with representative de/intercalation patterns at low potentials are considered highly desirable for K-ion batteries,the severe capacity fading caused by consecutive reduction reactions on the aggressively reactive surface is inevitable given the scarcity of effective protecting layers.Herein,by introducing a flame-retardant localized high-concentration electrolyte with retentive solvation configuration and relatively weakened anion-coordination and non-solvating fluorinated ether,the rational solid electrolyte interphase characterized by well-balanced inorganic/organic components is tailored in situ.This effectively prevented solvents from excessively decomposing and simultaneously improved the resistance against K-ion transport.Consequently,the graphite anode retained a prolonged cycling capability of up to 1400 cycles(245 mA h g,remaining above 12 mon)with an excellent capacity retention of as high as 92.4%.This is superior to those of conventional and high-concentration electrolytes.Thus,the optimized electrolyte with moderate salt concentration is perfectly compatible with graphite,providing a potential application prospect for K-storage evolution.

Artificial solid-electrolyte interface facilitating uniform Zn deposition by promoting chemical adsorption

Zn-air batteries are promising energy storage and conversion systems to replace the conventional lithiumbased ones.However,their applications have been greatly hindered by the formation of Zn dendrites and ZnO passivation layer on the Zn anodes.Herein,we report the fabrication of an artificial protective layer comprised of N-doped threedimensional hollow porous multi-nanochannel carbon fiber with well-dispersed TiO_(2) nanoparticles(HMCNF).The incorporated TiO;nanoparticles and N dopants improve the ion flux distribution and promote the surface adsorption,facilitating the interfacial pseudocapacitive behaviors during Zn deposition.The hierarchical architecture also induces homogenous electric field distribution at the anode/electrolyte interface.Accordingly,the deposition behavior of Zn is regulated,giving rise to enhanced utilization and rechargeability of Zn.When integrated in alkaline Zn-air batteries,the HMCNF-coated Zn anodes exhibit improved electrochemical performances relative to those with the bare Zn anodes,demonstrating a versatile strategy to boost energy storage of metal anodes through optimizing surface adsorption properties.
