Abstract

Abstract Uncontrolled growth of Zn dendrites is the main reason for the short‐circuit failure of aqueous Zn‐ion batteries. Using electrolyte additives to manipulate the crystal growth is one of the most convenient strategies to mitigate the dendrite issue. However, most additives would be unstable during cycling due to the structural reconstruction of the deposition layer. Herein, it is proposed to use 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium cation (BMIm + ion) as an electrolyte additive, which could steadily induce the preferential growth of (002) plane and inhibit the formation of Zn dendrites. Specifically, BMIm + ion will be preferentially adsorbed on (100) and (101) planes of Zn anodes, forcing Zn 2+ ion to deposit…
