Decoding Hydrogen‑Bond Network of Electrolyte for Cryogenic Durable Aqueous Zinc‑Ion Batteries

Caption

  • The hydrogen-bond network structure and solvation structure of the electrolyte are reconstructed by glycerol (GL) and methylsulfonamide (MSA) to achieve low-temperature durability in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs).
  • GL and MSA collaboratively construct (100)-oriented high-activity dendrite-free zinc anode to improve the rate performance of AZIBs.
  • The Zn||Zn symmetrical cell achieved stable operation for 4,000 h at 1 mA cm−2 and 1 mAh cm−2 (30 °C) and 5,400 h at 0.5 mA cm−2 and 0.5 mAh cm−2 (−20 °C).
