Multivalent Dipole Interactions‐Driven Supramolecular Polymer Layer Enables Highly Stable Zn Anode Under Harsh Conditions

Abstract
Abstract Aggressive side reactions and dendrite growth, associated with the unstable Zn anode/electrolyte interface, have impeded the practical application of Zn metal‐based batteries. Here, a donor‐acceptor (D‐A) polymer is employed to reconstruct a robust supramolecular polymer (SP) protective layer to achieve highly stable Zn anodes. The D‐A polymer possessing abundant electron donor and acceptor sites can dynamically co‐crosslink with water molecules and Zn 2 ⁺ through multivalent dipole interactions (MDIs), resulting in the formation of a supramolecular polymer network. The MDIs disrupt the original strong hydrogen‐bonding network within the D‐A polymer, leading to the reconfiguration of polymer chain…
