Abstract
Aqueous zinc batteries are the ideal choices to realize intrinsically safe energy storage, but parasitic side reactions make it difficult to achieve in practice. Although the cosolvent electrolyte effectively inhibits zinc dendrites and mitigates unexpected side reactions, it brings inevitable kinetics losses. Here, we systematically investigate and compare the interactions between Zn2+ and various oxygen-coordinated cosolvents under pure aqueous environments and the interactions between Zn2+ and OTf– under mixed solvent environments containing different oxygen-coordinated cosolvents. And the differences in the effect of different oxygen-coordinated cosolvents on the solvation structure of Zn2+ and the…
