“…Electrolyte additives provide a low cost, eco-friendly, and easy-operating solution to the interfacial stability issues, which favors the large-scale industrialization of AZMB. These additives can be broadly categorized into ionic additives, [163,164] organic additives, [103,[165][166][167] inorganic additives, [168,169] and metal additives. [112] Ionic additives have the most versatile functions yet simple preparation, that they can not only modify the interfacial stability, but also enhance the ionic conductivity of the aqueous electrolytes.…”

Aqueous Zn‐metal batteries (AZMBs) have gained great interest due to their low cost, eco‐friendliness, and inherent safety, which serve as a promising complement to the existing metal‐based batteries, e.g., lithium‐metal batteries and sodium‐metal batteries. Although the utilization of aqueous electrolytes and Zn metal anode in AZMBs ensures their improved safety over other metal batteries meanwhile guaranteeing their decent energy density at the cell level, plenty of challenges involved with metallic Zn anode still await to be addressed, including dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution reaction, and zinc corrosion and passivation. In the past years, several attempts have been adopted to address these problems, among which engineering the aqueous electrolytes and additives is regarded as a facile and promising approach. In this review, a comprehensive summary of aqueous electrolytes and electrolyte additives will be given based on the recent literature, aiming at providing a fundamental understanding of the challenges associated with the metallic Zn anode in aqueous electrolytes, meanwhile offering a guideline for the electrolytes and additives engineering strategies toward stable AZMBs in the future.

“…Thus, the performance of these batteries could be judiciously improved upon the incorporation of suitable additives into the neutral electrolyte. Several additives such as inorganic anions, 30 organic molecules, 31 and polymers 32 have been used as additives to enhance the performance of these neutral Al−air batteries. Despite all these efforts, the efficacy of the Al−air battery still needs improvement and several additives or their combinations are still explored.…”

Synergistic Reductive Electrolysis Mixture Additive-Based Dual-Cell Configuration: An Effective Approach for High-Performance Aqueous Aluminum–Air Battery

et al. 2023

Neutral aqueous electrolyte-based aluminum−air (Al−air) batteries have managed to gather significant attention because of their characteristic safety and cost effectiveness. However, the formation of the passivation layer [Al(OH) 3 ] on the aluminum anode inhibits the long-term shelf life of the battery. Herein, a novel strategy to overturn the passivation by altering the aluminum/electrolyte interface is proposed. Incorporation of synergistic reductive electrolysis mixture additives (Tiron + NaNO 3 ) can significantly reduce the passivation of the aluminum anode. The efficacy of the Tiron + NaNO 3 synergistic mixture additive has been systematically examined using half-cell and full-cell with different concentrations of the additives in 0.5% NaCl. Furthermore, dual cell performance was investigated with optimum concentration (0.005 M Tiron + 0.005 M NaNO 3 ) of the additive in 0.5% NaCl as the anolyte and different concentrations of H 2 SO 4 as the catholyte. It is found that the resulting pumpless dual cell battery comprising neutral electrolyte with 0.005 M Tiron + 0.005 M NaNO 3 mixture additive as the anolyte and 1 M H 2 SO 4 as the catholyte demonstrated a remarkable cell potential of 1.14 V at a current density of 1 mA g −1 , which is closer to the theoretical value. Morphological investigations using optical microscopy studies and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic investigations also confirmed that the Tiron + NaNO 3 additive is effective in preventing the discharge product on both anode and cathode surfaces and thus resulting in enhanced battery performance.
