“…In addition to the ion selectivity effect, modifying the functional groups in the separator can regulate the distribution of zinc at the electrode–separator interface and promote the uniform zinc deposition. For example, Zhong and coworkers [ 222 ] designed a functionalized composite (FC) separator based on PAAK and TiO 2 to regulate the electrode–electrolyte interface to guide the homogeneous zinc deposition. The synthesized FC separator displayed a strong zincophilicity nature due to the electrostatic attraction between Zn with TiO 2 and Zn 2+ with the anionic acrylate groups of PAAK in the FC separator with the positively charged at the interface, which lead to a uniform Zn deposition behavior.…”

Rechargeable aqueous zinc‐based batteries have gained considerable interest because of their advantages of high theoretical capacity, being eco‐friendly, and cost effectiveness. In particular, zinc‐based batteries with alkaline electrolyte show great promise due to their high working voltage. However, there remain great challenges for the commercialization of the rechargeable alkaline zinc‐based batteries, which are mainly impeded by the limited reversibility of the zinc electrode. The critical problems refer to the dendrites growth, electrode passivation, shape change, and side reactions, affecting discharge capacity, columbic efficiency, and cycling stability of the battery. All the issues are highly associated with the interfacial properties, including both electrons and ions transport behavior at the electrode interface. Herein, this work concentrates on the fundamental electrochemistry of the challenges in the zinc electrode and the design strategies for developing high‐performance zinc electrodes with regard to optimizing the interfaces between host and active materials as well as electrode and electrolyte. In addition, potential directions for the investigation of electrodes and electrolytes for high‐performance zinc‐based batteries are presented, aiming at promoting the development of rechargeable alkaline zinc‐based batteries.

“…Therefore, it is of great significance to focus on the gas generated inside the battery during battery operation to reveal the deep information of the battery interface reaction and improve the safety of the battery system. [61][62][63][64][65] In recent years, cryo-electron microscopy (Cry-EM) technology can observe the growth of Li/Na dendrites, and X-ray computed tomography and delayed transmission electron microscopy (TL-TEM) can help us visualize the penetration of Li dendrites. However, none of these techniques can predict the insertion and growth chemistry of Li/Na element in early time aiming to achieve the role of safety warning in advance.…”

Lithium‐ion/sodium‐ion batteries are the most advanced energy storage devices, but the structural evolution of electrode materials, electrolyte decomposition, the growth of Li/Na dendrites and the generation of heat and gas inside batteries represent serious safety issues. Therefore, it is necessary to real time monitor the parameter changes inside these devices. Herein, the recent important progress in a variety of advanced intelligent detection techniques based on the detection of heat, gas, and strain is introduced and discussed. The perfect combination of electrochemical parameters and these advanced intelligent sensing techniques allows the monitoring of the dynamic chemical and thermal evolution during a cell's operation without any impact, which is crucial to making meaningful advancements in energy storage devices. This work provide access to advanced diagnostic tools to guide the rational design of high‐safety batteries.

“…In addition, the surface of the anode for the PP cell without protection was corroded constantly by the HER and the oxygen produced by the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) from the cathode side. 76,[79][80][81] The oxidized anode in the PP cell could induce a larger charging current easily and excessive oxygen generation during the oating charge. 76,82,83 However, the strong zincophilicity nature of FC separator could promote the attraction to zinc constantly to guide the homogeneous deposition on zinc anode.…”
