Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) hold tremendous potential as next-generation large-scale energy storage devices, yet they face significant challenges. The reversibility of AZIBs is hindered by the unstable electrode/electrolyte interface caused by dendrite formation and parasitic side reactions. Electrolyte additives present a promising and straightforward approach to enhance the reversibility of AZIBs while maintaining overall energy density. In this short review, we systematically summarize the impacts of electrolyte additives based on the functional mechanisms. We provide a comprehensive analysis of the effects of additives on the bulk electrolyte and the electrode/electrolyte interface, as well as highlight the significance of multifunctional additives for achieving durable anodes and cathodes. To address the current research limitations, we offer perspectives on future research directions, guiding the exploration of novel additives and the realization of high-performance AZIBs.
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 •
