Abstract
Zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) have emerged as promising candidates for renewable energy storage owing to their affordability, safety, and sustainability. However, issues with Zn metal anodes, such as dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and corrosion, significantly hinder the practical application of ZIBs. To address these issues, organic solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layers have gained traction in the ZIB community as they can, for instance, help achieve uniform Zn plating/stripping and suppress side reactions. This article summarizes recent advances in organic artificial SEI layers for ZIB anodes, including their fabrication methods, electrochemical performance, and degradation suppression mechanisms.
