An Electrochemical Perspective of Aqueous Zinc Metal Anode

Abstract

Highlights Detailed discussion and summary of aqueous electrolyte chemistry, parasitic reactions chemistry, and storage energy chemistry and their relationship in aqueous zinc ions batteries are conducted. The recent development of strategies for enhancing the inherent stability of electrolyte and zinc anode to restrain parasitic reactions is reviewed from a thermodynamic perspective. The regulation strategies of electrolyte/electrode interfaces to block parasitic reactions by adsorbents and solid electrolyte interphase are reviewed from a kinetic perspective.
