Abstract

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have become critical in driving the advancement of large-scale energy storage systems due to their high specific capacity, safety, environmental friendliness, and low cost. However, the fundamental challenges associated with Zn anodes, including dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution reaction, corrosion, and low zinc utilization, significantly hinder the improvement of cyclic stability and energy density in AZIBs. In light of these challenges, considerable efforts have been devoted to exploring stable Zn anodes, while a significant gap persists between current research advancements and their practical working conditions. Therefore, this review first reveals the detailed mechanisms of dendrite formation, hydrogen evolution reaction, and corrosion, as well as the influence of the low zinc utilization on AZIB systems. In addition, recent advancements in various modification strategies for improving the stability and utilization of zinc anodes are summarized, and the corresponding working mechanisms are investigated. Finally, the key factors for advancing the development and practical application of AZIBs are clarified, with the goal of bridging the gap between their current research status and future large-scale energy storage demands.

锌的可逆性及其在实际水锌离子电池中的应用进展

水性锌离子电池（azib）由于其高比容量、安全性、环保性和低成本，在推动大规模储能系统的发展方面已成为关键。然而，与锌阳极相关的基本挑战，包括枝晶生长、析氢反应、腐蚀和低锌利用率，严重阻碍了azib循环稳定性和能量密度的提高。鉴于这些挑战，人们已经投入了相当大的努力来探索稳定的锌阳极，而目前的研究进展与实际工作条件之间仍然存在显着差距。因此，本文首先揭示了枝晶形成、析氢反应和腐蚀的详细机制，以及低锌利用率对AZIB体系的影响。此外，综述了各种改性策略的最新进展，以提高锌阳极的稳定性和利用率，并探讨了相应的工作机制。最后，阐明了推进azib发展和实际应用的关键因素，旨在弥合azib目前的研究现状与未来大规模储能需求之间的差距。
