Abstract:Aqueous Zn‐ion batteries (AZIBs) have attracted much attention due to their excellent safety, cost‐effectiveness, and eco‐friendliness thereby being considered as one of the most promising candidates for large‐scale energy storage. Zn metal anodes with a high gravimetric/volumetric capacity are indispensable for advanced AZIBs. However, pristine Zn metal anodes encounter severe challenges in achieving adequate cycling stability, including dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution reaction, self‐corrosion, and by‐pro… Show more
“…While these methods provide new insights into zinc metal protection, they are difficult to implement from the perspective of manufacturing process and production cost. 22 Considering the above difficulties, it would be more practical to explore suitable electrolyte additives to inhibit the formation of dendrites and to improve the reversibility of the Zn anode. 23–26 Currently, the commonly used electrolyte additives for aqueous zinc-ion batteries can be categorized into four types, including ionic, organic, inorganic, and metallic additives.…”
FA achieves uniform zinc deposition and better low temperature performance of AZIBs by participating in Zn2+ solvation structure, interaction with H2O in electrolyte, preferentially adsorping on Zn surface, and promoting the formation of SEI.

“…Aqueous zinc-based batteries are considered to be one of the most promising systems owing to the abundance of zinc resources and the non-combustible nature of water combined with the high theoretical capacity (820 mA h g −1 , 5855 mA h cm −3 ), low electrode potential (−0.76 V versus standard hydrogen electrode (SHE)), and air stability of Zn. 3–8 In recent years, aqueous zinc-based secondary batteries have been significantly developed; however, it is difficult to match them with suitable cathodes. Instances abound where commonly employed cathodes such as MnO 2 (ref.…”
Aqueous zinc-iodine batteries stand out as highly promising energy storage systems, owing to the abundance of resources and non-combustible nature of water, coupled with their high theoretical capacity. Nevertheless, the...
“…The excellent stability of pure zinc foil in aqueous solution further guarantees that it can be directly used as the cathode to assemble aqueous zinc ion batteries. [11][12][13] In addition, aqueous electrolytes, such as zinc sulfate and zinc trifluoromethane sulfonate, not only possess faster ion diffusion speed but also avoid spontaneous battery combustion. In the future, the exploration and research on suitable positive materials has gradually become an important issue for the development and application of AZIBs.…”
NH4+-defected NH4V4O10 with microflower morphology was synthesized via hydrothermal method and in situ phase transition to improve specific capacity (494.0 mA h g−1), Zn2+ diffusion efficiency and structural stability (71.8% for 2000 cycles).
