“…Motivated by the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) coating on the Li anode surface, inorganic AILs are previously reported to prevent Zn anodes from aqueous electrolytes. To date, numerous metals and their alloys [39,50,51] (e.g., In, [52,53] Sn, [54,55] Cu, [56] and ZnCu [57] ), metal compounds (e.g., oxides, [58][59][60][61][62] selenides, [63,64] fluorides, [65][66][67][68] CaCO 3 , [69] ZnMoO 4 , [70,71] ZHS, [72] and BaTiO 3 [73] ) and carbon materials [74][75][76][77][78] have been applied to build interphases for modulating the interfacial properties, aiming at enabling highly reversible Zn stripping/plating and inhibiting the side reactions of the HER and byproduct formation.…”
