Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion Batteries (ZIBs) using metallic Zn anode exhibit significant potential for grid-scale stationary energy storage. However, Zn dendrite growth, associated with various side reactions, constrains the reversibility of Zn deposition/dissolution, severely hindering the practical deployment of ZIBs. Electrolyte, also known as the “blood” of the batteries, has been a hot research topic because its specific formulation is decisive to the reversibility of Zn anode. In view of the rapid progresses in this area, in this review, we provide a concise overview of recent advances in electrolyte engineering for Zn stabilization. In contrast to previous reviews focusing on electrolyte composition or effects, we summarize and discuss the impact of electrolyte on the four key stages of Zn deposition from an electrochemical perspective. It is anticipated to give some enlightening clues to the deep understanding of the underlying mechanisms of electrolyte-mediated Zn chemistry.
期刊介绍：
The development of the Current Opinion journals stemmed from the acknowledgment of the growing challenge for specialists to stay abreast of the expanding volume of information within their field. In Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, they help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:
1.The views of experts on current advances in electrochemistry in a clear and readable form.
2.Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
In the realm of electrochemistry, the subject is divided into 12 themed sections, with each section undergoing an annual review cycle:
• Bioelectrochemistry • Electrocatalysis • Electrochemical Materials and Engineering • Energy Storage: Batteries and Supercapacitors • Energy Transformation • Environmental Electrochemistry • Fundamental & Theoretical Electrochemistry • Innovative Methods in Electrochemistry • Organic & Molecular Electrochemistry • Physical & Nano-Electrochemistry • Sensors & Bio-sensors •
