Abstract

The structure of solution additives significantly affects the polarization and dendrite behavior of metal batteries. In this study, we propose, for the first time, the "hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value-spatial configuration synergistic regulation" strategy by selecting cations with different structures as additives, successfully revealing the structure-activity relationship between additive structures and the stability of the anode interface adsorption layer. Among them, the butyltrimethylammonium chloride additive (ADD4), which has a low HLB value and a linear structure, exhibits the most stable interfacial structure. The stable hydrophobic region formed by its spontaneous aggregation and assembly…
