Abstract
Abstract Aqueous rechargeable Zn-metal batteries (ARZBs) are considered one of the most promising candidates for grid-scale energy storage. However, their widespread commercial application is largely plagued by three major challenges: The uncontrollable Zn dendrites, notorious parasitic side reactions, and sluggish Zn 2+ ion transfer. To address these issues, we design a sustainable dual cross-linked cellulose hydrogel electrolyte, which has excellent mechanical strength to inhibit dendrite formation, high Zn 2+ ions binding capacity to suppress side reaction, and abundant porous structure to facilitate Zn 2+ ions migration. Consequently, the Zn||Zn cell with the hydrogel electrolyte can cycle stably for more…
