Abstract

Zinc metal batteries (ZnBs) are poised as the next-generation energy storage solution, complementing lithium-ion batteries, thanks to their cost-effectiveness and safety advantages. These benefits originate from the abundance of zinc and its compatibility with non-flammable aqueous electrolytes. However, the inherent instability of zinc in aqueous environments, manifested through hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) and dendritic growth, has hindered commercialization due to poor cycling stability. Enter potassium polyacrylate (PAAK)-based water-in-polymer salt electrolyte (WiPSE), a novel variant of water-in-salt electrolytes (WiSE), designed to mitigate side reactions associated with water redox processes, thereby enhancing the cyclic stability of ZnBs. In this study, WiPSE was employed in ZnBs featuring lignin and carbon composites as cathode materials. Our research highlights the crucial function of acrylate groups from WiPSE in stabilizing the ionic flux on the surface of the Zn electrode. This stabilization promotes the parallel deposition of Zn along the (002) plane, resulting in a significant reduction in dendritic growth. Notably, our sustainable Zn-lignin battery showcases remarkable cyclic stability, retaining 80% of its initial capacity after 8000 cycles at a high current rate (1 A g−1) and maintaining over 75% capacity retention up to 2000 cycles at a low current rate (0.2 A g−1). This study showcases the practical application of WiPSE for the development of low-cost, dendrite-free, and scalable ZnBs.

用于长寿命可充电水性锌-木质素电池的水包聚合物盐电解质
锌金属电池(ZnBs)凭借其成本效益和安全优势,有望成为下一代储能解决方案,与锂离子电池形成互补。这些优势源于丰富的锌资源及其与不易燃水性电解质的兼容性。然而,锌在水环境中固有的不稳定性(表现为氢进化反应(HER)和树枝状生长)因循环稳定性差而阻碍了其商业化。基于聚丙烯酸酯钾(PAKAK)的盐包水电解质(WiPSE)是盐包水电解质(WiSE)的一种新型变体,旨在减轻与水氧化还原过程相关的副反应,从而提高锌电池的循环稳定性。在这项研究中,WiPSE 被应用于以木质素和碳复合材料为阴极材料的 ZnBs 中。我们的研究强调了 WiPSE 中的丙烯酸酯基团在稳定锌电极表面离子通量方面的关键作用。这种稳定作用可促进锌沿 (002) 平面平行沉积,从而显著减少树枝状生长。值得注意的是,我们的可持续锌木质素电池具有显著的循环稳定性,在高电流率(1 A g-1)条件下循环 8000 次后仍能保持 80% 的初始容量,在低电流率(0.2 A g-1)条件下循环 2000 次后仍能保持 75% 以上的容量。这项研究展示了 WiPSE 在开发低成本、无树枝状突起和可扩展 ZnB 方面的实际应用。

期刊介绍: Energy & Environmental Materials (EEM) is an international journal published by Zhengzhou University in collaboration with John Wiley & Sons, Inc. The journal aims to publish high quality research related to materials for energy harvesting, conversion, storage, and transport, as well as for creating a cleaner environment. EEM welcomes research work of significant general interest that has a high impact on society-relevant technological advances. The scope of the journal is intentionally broad, recognizing the complexity of issues and challenges related to energy and environmental materials. Therefore, interdisciplinary work across basic science and engineering disciplines is particularly encouraged. The areas covered by the journal include, but are not limited to, materials and composites for photovoltaics and photoelectrochemistry, bioprocessing, batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, clean air, and devices with multifunctionality. The readership of the journal includes chemical, physical, biological, materials, and environmental scientists and engineers from academia, industry, and policy-making.
