Abstract
Abstract The advancement of aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) is often hampered by the dendritic zinc growth and the parasitic side reactions between the zinc anode and the aqueous electrolyte, especially under extreme temperature conditions. This study unveils the performance decay mechanism of zinc anodes in harsh environments, characterized by “dead zinc” at low temperatures and aggravated hydrogen evolution and adverse by‐products at elevated temperatures. To address these issues, a temperature self‐adaptive electrolyte (TSAE), founded on the competitive coordination principle of co‐solvent and anions, is introduced. This electrolyte exhibits a dynamic solvation capability, engendering an inorganic‐rich…
