Abstract:The instability of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) is a critical challenge for the zinc metal anodes, leading to an erratic electrode/electrolyte interface and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), ultimately resulting in anode failure. This study uncovers that the fluorine species dissolution is the root cause of SEI instability. To effectively suppress the F‐ dissolution, an introduction of low‐polarity molecule, 1,4‐thioxane (TX), is proposed, which reinforces the stability of the fluorine‐rich SEI. More… Show more
