Aqueous Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs) have garnered significant interest in recent years due to their potential applications large-scale stationary energy storage. Early ZIBs research has primarily focused on searching for better cathodes and understanding cathodic Zn 2+ storage mechanisms. Only very recently shifted anode. Here this study, we report insights into the interactions between anode aqueo...

Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZBs), with their high theoretical capacity, low cost, safety, and environmental friendliness, have risen as a promising candidate for next-generation energy storage. Despite the fruitful progress in cathode material research, electrochemical performance of AZB remains hindered by physical chemical instability Zn anode. The anode suffers from dendrite gr...

Water-in-salt (WIS) electrolytes using super-concentrated organic lithium (Li) salts are of interest for aqueous Li-ion batteries. However, the high salt cost, viscosity, poor wettability, and environmental hazards remain a great challenge. Herein, we present localized water-in-salt (LWIS) electrolyte based on low-cost nitrate (LiNO3) 1,5-pentanediol (PD) as inert diluent. The addition PD maint...

Abstract A high-concentration aqueous electrolyte with a wide electrochemical stability window represents novel development direction for traditional batteries. Herein, water-in-bisalt using LiFSI (lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide) and LiTFSI bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide) as supporting salts was first applied an of dual-ion battery, the solvated structure changes were studied in detail. E...
