Rechargeable Zn‐ion batteries (ZIBs), prospective candidates for broad‐scale energy storage, still encounter many challenges such as hydrogen evolution corrosion, Zn dendrite growth, and capacity fading. Therefore, one specific strategy for tuning the internal structure of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) via organic additives is proposed to address these urgent bottlenecks simultaneously. With trimethyl phosphate (TMP) addition, the coordination environment of Zn2+ in SPEs is altered and exists as Zn2+(TMP)x(OTf−)y coordinated molecules. Meanwhile, the strong interaction between TMP and Zn enables the preferential growth of Zn(002) planes during electrodeposition, which is proved based on first‐principles calculations, finite element simulations, and multiple in situ characterizations. Such excellent interfacial engineering in situ forms the solid electrolyte interface rich in Zn3(PO4)2 fast ion conductor and guarantees one ultra‐long cycle life for more than 6000 h in a Zn|Zn symmetric cell at 0.1 mA cm−2. Moreover, the universality of TMP‐modified SPEs shows 1000 times stable cycling of VO2(B)|Zn full cells at 1 A g−1 under 0 °C with 95.24% capacity retention, which satisfies potential applications of wide‐ranging energy storage based on solid‐state ZIBs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
