Insight on Organic Molecules in Aqueous Zn‐Ion Batteries with an Emphasis on the Zn Anode Regulation

Abstract Rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs), as a rising star in aqueous ion batteries, are restricted by the narrow voltage window and the unsatisfactory reversibility, which are dominated by the high activity of H 2 O molecules, side reaction, Zn dendrites, and structural degeneration of the cathode. Electrolyte manipulation has seen a great deal of research recently, particularly various kinds of organic molecules have been shown to achieve outstanding effects on stabilizing the Zn anode, yet the exploration of the mechanism behind the high performance has not been thorough. In an attempt to find such underlying principles, the basic reactions and the corresponding progress on the anode side of…
