Abstract

As the global energy demand has increased, research into energy storage technologies has become crucial. However, current battery development methods face significant challenges in terms of energy density, ionic conductivity, dendrite growth, and safety, limiting their widespread practical use. Zwitterionic polymers have attracted considerable attention because of their unique molecular structure, where the coexistence of charged functional groups endows the polymer with high polarity and superior hydrophilicity, which are vital for its electrochemical properties. Additionally, the electrical properties of these polymers can be further tailored, making it possible to engineer zwitterionic polymers to address the challenges hindering battery systems, which has been a growing research focus. This paper first explains the composition, classification, properties, and synthesis methods of zwitterionic polymers and then focuses on their roles in the batteries, functionalities and structural design strategies. Furthermore, we have encapsulated the advantages of zwitterionic polymers in battery applications and explored their prospective advancement trajectory, aiming to provide insight for the corresponding sectors of investigation.
