Abstract

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising candidates for the large-scale energy storage systems due to their high intrinsic safety, cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness. However, issues such as dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution reaction, and interfacial passivation occurring at the anode/electrolyte interface (AEI) have hindered their practical application. Constructing a stable AEI plays a key role in regulating zinc deposition and improving the cycle life of AZIBs. The fundamentals of AEI and the challenges faced by the Zn anode due to unstable interfaces are discussed. A comprehensive summary of electrolyte regulation strategies by electrolyte engineering to achieve a stable Zn anode is provided. The effectiveness evaluation techniques for stable AEI are also analyzed, including the interfacial chemistry and surface morphology evolution of the Zn anode. Finally, suggestions and perspectives for future research are offered about enabling a durable and stable AEI via electrolyte engineering, which may pave the way for developing high-performance AZIBs.

优化阳极/电解质界面的电解质工程，实现卓越的锌离子水电池：综述

锌离子水电池（AZIBs）具有内在安全性高、成本效益高和环境友好等优点，是大规模储能系统的理想候选材料。然而，阳极/电解质界面（AEI）上出现的枝晶生长、氢进化反应和界面钝化等问题阻碍了它们的实际应用。构建稳定的 AEI 对调节锌沉积和提高 AZIB 的循环寿命起着关键作用。本文讨论了 AEI 的基本原理以及锌阳极因界面不稳定而面临的挑战。全面总结了通过电解质工程实现稳定锌阳极的电解质调节策略。此外，还分析了稳定 AEI 的效果评估技术，包括锌阳极的界面化学和表面形态演变。最后，还就如何通过电解质工程实现持久稳定的 AEI 提出了建议和未来研究展望，为开发高性能 AZIB 铺平了道路。
