Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries have promising potential as energy storage devices due to their low cost and environmental friendliness. However, their development has been hindered by zinc dendrite formation and parasitic side reactions. Herein, we introduce a low-concentration sodium benzoate (NaBZ) electrolyte additive to stabilize the electrode-electrolyte interface and promote deposition on the Zn (002) crystal plane. From experimental characterization and computational analyses, NaBZ was found to adsorb on the Zn surface and inhibit side reactions while guiding homogeneous Zn deposition on the (002) plane. Consequently, Zn|Zn symmetric cells with the NaBZ additive cycled stably for over 1000 h at a current density of 0.5 mA cm-2 and an areal capacity of 0.5 mAh cm-2, while Zn|Cu cells showed excellent reversibility with a Coulombic efficiency of 99.05%. Moreover, Zn|Na0.33V2O5 full cells achieve a high specific capacity of 124 mAh g-1 while cycling for 600 h at 2 A g-1. These findings present a low-cost electrolyte modification strategy for reversible zinc-ion batteries.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are emerging as powerful candidates for large-scale energy storage, due to their inherent high safety and high theoretical capacity. However, the inevitable hydrogen evolution and side effects of the deposition process limit their lifespan, which requires rational engineering of the interface between anode and aqueous electrolyte. In this paper, an anionic surfactant as electrolyte additive, sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS), is introduced to deliver highly reversible zinc metal batteries. Unlike traditional surfactants, the solvation structure is not affected by SDS, which tends to adsorb on the (002) crystal plane of Zn with the purpose of effectively limiting the water molecules adsorption. Attributed to the natural hydrophobic part of SDS, a dynamic electrostatic shielding layer and a unique hydrophobic interface are constructed on the anode. Assisted by the above merits, the adverse surface corrosion, hydrogen evolution and dendrite growth are significantly inhibited without the sacrifice in the deposition kinetics of Zn ions. As a result, the Zn||Zn symmetric batteries demonstrate an increased cycle life of 2000 h (1 mA cm-2, 1 mA h cm-2) with the presence of SDS additive. Such strategy provides a new avenue for the developing advanced electrolytes to be applied in aqueous energy storage systems.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) face significant challenges stemming from Zn dendrite growth and water-contact attack, primarily due to the lack of a well-designed solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) to safeguard the Zn anode. Herein, we report a bio-mass derived polymer of chitin on Zn anode (Zn@chitin) as a novel and robust artificial SEI layer to boost the Zn anode rechargeability. The polymeric chitin SEI layer features both zincophilic and hydrophobic characteristics to target the suppressed dendritic Zn formation as well as the water-induced side reactions, thus harvesting a dendrite-free and corrosion-resistant Zn anode. More importantly, this polymeric interphase layer is strong and flexible accommodating the volume changes during repeated cycling. Based on these benefits, the Zn@chitin anode demonstrates prolonged cycling performance surpassing 1300 h under an ultra-large current density of 20 mA cm-2, and a long cycle life of 680 h with a record-high zinc utilization rate of 80 %. Besides, the assembled Zn@chitin/V2O5 full batteries reveal excellent capacity retention and rate performance under practical conditions, proving the reliability of our proposed strategy for industrial AZIBs. Our research offers valuable insights for constructing high-performance AZIBs, and simultaneously realizes the high-efficient use of cheap biomass from a "waste-to-wealth" concept.

Abstract
Realizing durative dense, dendrite-free, and no by-product deposition configuration on Zn anodes is crucial to solving the short circuit and premature failure of batteries, which is simultaneously determined by the Zn interface chemistry, electro-reduction kinetics, mass transfer process, and their interaction. Herein, this work unmasks a domino effect of the β-alanine cations (Ala+) within the hydrogel matrix, which effectively triggers the subsequent electrostatic shielding and beneficial knock-on effects via the specifical adsorption earliest event on the Zn anode surface. The electrostatic shielding effect regulates the crystallographic energetic preference of Zn deposits and retards fast electro-reduction kinetics, thereby steering stacked stockier block morphology and realizing crystallographic optimization. Meanwhile, the mass transfer rate of Zn2+ ions was accelerated via the SO4 2- anion immobilized caused by Ala+ in bulk electrolyte, finally bringing the balance between electroreduction kinetics and mass transfer process, which enables dendrite-free Zn deposition behavior. Concomitantly, the interfacial adsorbed Ala+ cations facilitate the electrochemical reduction of interfacial SO4 2- anions to form the inorganic-organic hybrid solid electrolyte interphase layer. The above domino effects immensely improve the utilization efficiency of Zn anodes and long-term stability, as demonstrated by the 12 times longer life of Zn||Zn cells (3650 h) and ultrahigh Coulombic efficiency (99.4 %).

Abstract
In recent years, aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have attracted significant attention in energy storage due to their notable advantages, including high safety, low cost, high capacity, and environmental friendliness. However, side reactions like hydrogen evolution and zinc (Zn) dendrites can significantly impact their Coulombic efficiency (CE) and lifespan. Effectively addressing these issues has become a focus of research in this field. In our study, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and nanodiamonds (NDs) were used to optimize the electrolyte of AZIBs. Benefiting from the hydrogen bond fusion of DMSO and NDs, which regulates the Zn deposition behavior, effectively inhibiting the growth of Zn dendrites, hydrogen evolution, and corrosion. The Zn | |Zn symmetric cells using NDs-DMSO-ZS demonstrate exceptional cycling stability for over 1500 h at 1 mA cm-2, while the Zn//Cu asymmetric cells achieve up to 99.8% CE at 2 mA cm-2. This study not only shows the application prospects of electrolyte optimization in enhancing AZIBs performance, but also provides a reference for the advancement of electrolyte technology in advanced AZIBs technology.

Abstract
Addition of organic compounds containing O/N heteroatoms to aqueous electrolytes such as ZnSO4 (ZS) solutions is one of the effective strategies to inhibit Zn anode dendrites and side reactions. However, addressing the stability of Zn plating/stripping at high current densities and areal capacities by this method is still a challenge, especially in capacitors known for high power and long life. Herein, an organic heterocyclic compound of 1, 4, 7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane (TC) containing four symmetrically distributed N atoms is employed as ZS additive, expanding the life of Zn anodes from ≈ 30 h to 1000 and 240 h at deep plating/stripping conditions of 10 and 20 mA cm-2/mAh cm-2, respectively; the cumulative capacity is as high as 5.0 Ah cm-2 with 99% Coulombic efficiency, far exceeding reported additives. TC with higher binding energies than H2O for Zn species tends to adsorb to Zn (002) in a lying manner and participate in the solvation shell of Zn2+, thus avoiding Zn dendrites and side-reaction damage, especially at high current densities. The TC-endowed Zn anode's stability under such extreme conditions is verified in Zn-ion capacitors (i.e., > 94.6% capacity retention after 28 000 cycles), providing new insights into the development of high-power Zn-based energy storage devices.

Abstract
In situ construction of solid electrolyte interfaces (SEI) is an effective strategy to enhance the reversibility of zinc (Zn) anodes. However, in situ SEI to afford high reversibility under high current density conditions (≥20 mA cm-2) is highly desired yet extremely challenging. Herein, we propose a dual reaction strategy of spontaneous electrostatic reaction and electrochemical decomposition for the in situ construction of SEI, which is composed of organic-rich upper layer and inorganic-rich inner layer. Particularly, in situ SEI performs as "growth binder" at small current density and "orientation regulator" at high current density, which significantly suppresses side reactions and dendrite growth. The in situ SEI affords the record-breaking reversibility of Zn anode under practical conditions, Zn//Zn symmetric cells can stably cycle for over 1300 h and 400 h at current densities of 50 mA cm-2 and 100 mA cm-2, respectively, showcasing an exceptional cumulative capacity of 67.5 Ah cm-2. Furthermore, the practicality of this in situ SEI is verified in Zn//PANI pouch cells with high mass loading of 25.48 mg cm-2. This work provides a universal strategy to design advanced SEI for practical Zn-ion batteries.

Abstract
The research interest in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) has been surging due to the advantages of safety, abundance, and high electrochemical performance. However, some technique issues, such as dendrites, hydrogen evolution reaction, and corrosion, severely prohibit the development of AZIBs in practical utilizations. The underlying mechanisms regarding electrochemical performance deterioration and structure degradation are too complex to understand, especially when it comes to zinc metal anode-electrolyte interface. Recently, theoretical simulations and in situ characterizations have played a crucial role in AZIBs and are exploited to guide the research on electrolyte engineering and solid electrolyte interphase. Herein, we present a comprehensive review of the current state of the fundamental mechanisms involved in the zinc plating/stripping process and underscore the importance of theoretical simulations and in situ characterizations in mechanism research. Finally, we summarize the challenges and opportunities for AZIBs in practical applications, especially as a stationary energy storage and conversion device in a smart grid.

Abstract
Interfacial active water molecule-induced parasitic reactions and stochastic Zn2+ transport-caused dendrite issue significantly impede the implementation of aqueous Zn-ion batteries. Herein, three positively charged amino acids, namely arginine, histidine, and lysine, were utilized as adsorption-type electrolyte additives to enhance the stability and reversibility of Zn anodes. Combined theoretical and experimental analyses verified that these amino acid cations can synergistically modulate the interfacial microenvironment and promote orientational Zn deposition. The adsorbed amino acid cations reconfigured the interfacial electric double layer structure, forming SO42-- and H2O-poor interfaces, thereby retarding hydrogen evolution and corrosion side reactions. Simultaneously, the preferential adsorption of the amino acid cations at specific facets induced crystallographic orientational Zn deposition along unterminated facets. Three deposition architectures, namely planar texture, subvertical alignment, and vertical erection, were obtained, all effectively inhibiting dendrite formation. Consequently, symmetric cells with the three amino acid cations exhibited high stripping/plating reversibility of over 2000 cycles at 5 mA cm-2. Moreover, MnO2-based full cells exhibited markedly improved stabilities compared with their additive-free counterparts.

High-Fluidity/High-Strength Dual-Layer Gel Electrolytes Enable Ultra-Flexible and Dendrite-Free Fiber-Shaped Aqueous Zinc Metal Battery. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2313772. [PMID: 38402409 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202313772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024]
Abstract
Fiber-shaped aqueous zinc-ion batteries (FAZIBs) with intrinsic safety, highcapacity, and superb omnidirectional flexibility hold promise for wearable energy-supply devices. However, the interfacial separation of fiber-shaped electrodes and electrolytes caused by Zinc (Zn) stripping process and severe Zn dendrites occurring at the folded area under bending condition seriously restricts FAZIBs' practical application. Here, an advanced confinement encapsulation strategy is originally reported to construct dual-layer gel electrolyte consisting of high-fluidity polyvinyl alcohol-Zn acetate inner layer and high-strength Zn alginate outer layer for fiber-shaped Zn anode. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of inner-outer gel electrolyte and the formation of solid electrolyte interphase on Zn anode surface by lysine additive, the resulting fiber-shaped Zn-Zn symmetric cell delivers long cycling life over 800 h at 1 mA cm-2 with dynamic bending frequency of 0.1 Hz. The finite element simulation further confirms that dual-layer gel electrolyte can effectively suppress the interfacial separation arising from the Zn stripping and bending process. More importantly, a robust twisted fiber-shaped Zn/zinc hexacyanoferrate battery based on dual-layer gel electrolyte is successfully assembled, achieving a remarkable capacity retention of 97.7% after bending 500 cycles. Therefore, such novel dual-layer gel electrolyte design paves the way for the development of long-life fiber-shaped aqueous metal batteries.

Abstract
Zn-Ni batteries have garnered considerable attention due to their high specific energy, consistent discharge voltage, favorable performance at low temperatures, and environmentally benign nature. Nevertheless, anode interface issues such as dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution, and interfacial side reactions lead to poor cycling stability of Zn-Ni batteries, significantly limiting their further commercial applications. In this study, we propose a facile electrolyte engineering strategy to optimize the Zn anode interfacial environment and stabilize the Zn anode by introducing tannic acid (TA) into the KOH electrolyte. The incorporated TA complexing agent addition will be used to prevent the direct contact of H2O with the anode surface and promote the desolvation of Zn2+ through complexation, thus suppressing the interfacial corrosion. Consequently, the Zn symmetric battery using TA electrolyte cycles stably for 178 h at 1 mA cm-2. The Zn-Ni full batteries with TA electrolyte maintain 98.08 % capacity retention after 2000 cycles at 20C. This study will be of immediate benefit in commercializing large-scale, practical energy storage applications.

Abstract
Numerous organic electrolytes additives have been reported to improve Zn anode performance in aqueous Zn metal batteries (AZMBs). However, the modification mechanism needs to be further revealed in consideration of different environments for electrolytes and electrodes during the charge-discharge process. Herein, sulfur-containing zwitter-molecule (methionine, Met) is used as an additive for ZnSO4 electrolytes. In electrolytes, Met reduces the H2O coordination number and facilitates the desolvation process by virtue of functional groups (─COOH, ─NH2, C─S─C), accelerating Zn2+ transference kinetics and decreasing the amount of active water. On electrodes, Met prefers to adsorb on Zn (002) plane and further transforms into a zincophilic protective layer containing C─SOx─C through an in situ electrochemical oxidization, suppressing H2 evolution/corrosion reactions and guiding dendrite-free Zn deposition. By using Met-containing ZnSO4 electrolytes, the Zn//Zn cells show superior cycling performance under 30 mA cm-2/30 mA h cm-2. Moreover, the full cells Zn//NH4V4O10 full cells using the modified electrolytes exhibit good performance at temperatures from -8 to 60 °C. Notably, a high energy density of 105.30 W h kg-1 can be delivered using a low N/P ratio of 1.2, showing a promising prospect of Met electrolytes additives for practical use.

Abstract
Considerable attention has been by far paid to stabilizing metallic Zn anodes, where side reactions and dendrite formation still remain detrimental to their practical advancement. Electrolyte modification or protected layer design is widely reported; nonetheless, an effective maneuver to synergize both tactics has been rarely explored. Herein, we propose a localized electrolyte optimization via the introduction of a dual-functional biomass modificator over the Zn anode. Instrumental characterization in conjunction with molecular dynamics simulation indicates local solvation structure transformation owing to the limitation of bound water with intermolecular hydrogen bonds, effectively suppressing hydrogen evolutions. Meanwhile, the optimized nucleation throughout the protein membrane allows uniform Zn deposition. Accordingly, the symmetric cell exhibits an elongated lifespan of 3280 h at 1.0 mA cm-2/1.0 mAh cm-2, while the capacity retention of the full cell sustains 91.1% after 2000 cycles at 5.0 A g-1. The localized electrolyte tailoring via protein membrane introduction might offer insights into operational metal anode protection.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) are considered promising energy storage devices because of their high theoretical energy density and cost-effectiveness. However, the ongoing side reactions and zinc dendrite growth during cycling limit their practical application. Herein, trisodium methylglycine diacetate (Na3MGDA) additive containing the additional inert group methyl is introduced for Zn anode protection, and the contribution of methyl as an inert group to the Zn anode stability is discussed. Experimental results reveal that the methyl group with various effects enhances the interaction between the polar groups in Na3MGDA and the Zn2+/Zn anode. Thus, the polar carboxylate negative ions in MGDA anions can more easily modify the solvation structure and adsorb on the anode surface in situ to establish a hydrophobic electrical double layer (EDL) layer with steric hindrance effects. Such the EDL layer exhibits a robust selectivity for Zn deposition and a significant inhibition of parasitic reactions. Consequently, the Zn||Zn symmetric battery presents 2375 h at 1 mA cm-2, 1 mAh cm-2, and the Zn||V6O13 full battery provides 91% capacity retention after 1300 cycles at 3 A g-1. This study emphasizes the significant role of inert groups of the additive on the interfacial stability during the plating/stripping of high-performance AZIBs.

Abstract
Developing low-cost and long-cycling-life aqueous zinc (Zn) ion capacitors (AZICs) for large-scale electrochemical energy storage still faces the challenges of dendritic Zn deposition and interfacial side reactions. Here, an interface engineering strategy utilizing a dibenzenesulfonimide (BBI) additive is employed to enhance the stability of the Zn metal anode/electrolyte interface. The first-principles calculation results demonstrate that BBI anions can be chemically adsorbed on Zn metal. Meanwhile, the experimental results confirm that the BBI-Zn interfacial layer converts the original water-richelectric double layer (EDL) into a water-poor EDL, effectively inhibiting the water related parasitic reaction at the electrode/electrolyte interface. In addition, the BBI-Zn interfacial layer introduces an additional Zn ions (Zn2+) migration energy barrier, increasing the Zn2+ de-solvation activation energy, consequently raising the Zn2+ nucleation overpotential, and thus achieving the compact and uniform Zn deposition behavior. Furthermore, the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer derived from the BBI-Zn interfacial layer during cycling can further maintain the interfacial stability of the Zn anode. Owing to the above favorable features, the assembled AZIC exhibits an ultra-long cycling life of over 300 000 cycles based on the additive engineering strategy, which shows application prospects in high-performance AZICs.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn2+-ion batteries (AZIBs), recognized for their high security, reliability, and cost efficiency, have garnered considerable attention. However, the prevalent issues of dendrite growth and parasitic reactions at the Zn electrode interface significantly impede their practical application. In this study, we introduced a ubiquitous biomolecule of phenylalanine (Phe) into the electrolyte as a multifunctional additive to improve the reversibility of the Zn anode. Leveraging its exceptional nucleophilic characteristics, Phe molecules tend to coordinate with Zn2+ ions for optimizing the solvation environment. Simultaneously, the distinctive lipophilicity of aromatic amino acids empowers Phe with a higher adsorption energy, enabling the construction of a multifunctional protective interphase. The hydrophobic benzene ring ligands act as cleaners for repelling H2O molecules, while the hydrophilic hydroxyl and carboxyl groups attract Zn2+ ions for homogenizing Zn2+ flux. Moreover, the preferential reduction of Phe molecules prior to H2O facilitates the in situ formation of an organic-inorganic hybrid solid electrolyte interphase, enhancing the interfacial stability of the Zn anode. Consequently, Zn||Zn cells display improved reversibility, achieving an extended cycle life of 5250 h. Additionally, Zn||LMO full cells exhibit enhanced cyclability of retaining 77.3% capacity after 300 cycles, demonstrating substantial potential in advancing the commercialization of AZIBs.

Abstract
The stability of aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) is detrimentally influenced by the formation of Zn dendrites and the occurrence of parasitic side reactions at the Zn metal anode (ZMA)-electrolyte interface. The strategic manipulation of the preferential crystal orientation during Zn2+ plating serves as an essential approach to mitigate this issue. Here, Zn aspartate (Zn-Asp), an electrolyte additive for AZIBs, is introduced not only to optimize the solvation structure of Zn2+ , but also to crucially promote preferential Zn2+ plating on the (002) crystal plane of ZMA. As a result, both side reactions and Zn dendrites are effectively inhibited, ensuring an anode surface free of both dendrites and by-products. The implementation of Zn-Asp leads to significant enhancements in both Zn||Zn symmetric and Zn||Ti batteries, which demonstrate robust cyclability of over 3200 h and high Coulombic efficiency of 99.29%, respectively. Additionally, the Zn||NaV3 O8 ·1.5H2 O full battery exhibits remarkable rate capability, realizing a high capacity of 240.77 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1 , and retains 92.7% of its initial capacity after 1000 cycles. This research underscores the vital role of electrolyte additives in regulating the preferential crystal orientation of ZMA, thereby contributing to the development of high-performing AZIBs.

Abstract
Ensuring effective and controlled zinc ion transportation is crucial for functionality of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and overall performance in zinc-based battery systems. Herein the first-ever demonstration of incorporate cation-π interactions are provided in the SEI to effectively facilitate uniform zinc ion flux. The artificial SEI design involves the immobilization of 4-amino-p-terphenyl (TPA), a strong amphiphilic cation-π interaction donor, as a monolayer onto a conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) matrix, which enable the establishment of a robust network of cation-π interactions. Through a carefully-designed interfacial polymerization process, a high-quality, large-area, robust is achieved, thin polymeric TPA/PEDOT (TP) film for the use of artificial SEI. Consequently, this interphase exhibits exceptional cycling stability with low overpotential and enables high reversibility of Zn plating/stripping. Symmetrical cells with TP/Zn electrodes can be cycled for more than 3200 hours at 1 mA cm-2 and 1 mAh cm-2 . And the asymmetric cells can cycle 3000 cycles stably with a high Coulomb efficiency of 99.78%. Also, under the extreme conditions of lean electrolyte and low N/P ratio, the battery with TP protective layer can still achieve ultra-stable cycle.

Abstract
High-rate and stable Zn-ion batteries working at low temperatures are highly desirable for practical applications, but are challenged by sluggish kinetics and severe corrosion. Herein, inspired by frost-resistant plants, we report trace hydroxyl-rich electrolyte additives that implement a dual remodeling effect for high-performance low-temperature Zn-ion batteries. The additive with high Zn absorbability not only remodels Zn2+ primary solvent shell by alternating H2 O molecules, but also forms a shielding layer thus remodeling the Zn surface, which effectively enhances fast Zn2+ de-solvation reaction kinetics and prohibits Zn anode corrosion. Taking trace α-D-glucose (αDG) as a demonstration, the electrolyte obtains a low freezing point of -55.3 °C, and the Zn//Zn cell can stably cycle for 2000 h at 5 mA cm-2 under -25 °C, with a high cumulative capacity of 5000 mAh cm-2 . A full battery that stably operates for 10000 cycles at -50 °C is also demonstrated.

Abstract
The practical implementation of aqueous zinc-iodine batteries (ZIBs) is hindered by the rampant Zn dendrites growth, parasite corrosion, and polyiodide shuttling. In this work, ionic liquid EMIM[OAc] is employed as an all-round solution to mitigate challenges on both the Zn anode and the iodine cathode side. First, the EMIM+ embedded lean-water inner Helmholtz plane (IHP) and inert solvation sheath modulated by OAc- effectively repels H2 O molecules away from the Zn anode surface. The preferential adsorption of EMIM+ on Zn metal facilitates uniform Zn nucleation via a steric hindrance effect. Second, EMIM+ can reduce the polyiodide shuttling by hindering the iodine dissolution and forming an EMIM+ -I3 - dominated phase. These effects holistically enhance the cycle life, which is manifested by both Zn || Zn symmetric cells and Zn-I2 full cells. ZIBs with EAc deliver a capacity decay rate of merely 0.01 ‰ per cycle after over 18,000 cycles at 4 A g-1 , and lower self-discharge and better calendar life than the ZIBs without ionic liquid EAc additive.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) have emerged as a promising battery technology due to their excellent safety, high capacity, low cost, and eco-friendliness. However, the cycle life of AZIBs is limited by severe side reactions and zinc dendrite growth on the zinc electrode surface, hindering large-scale application. Here, an electrolyte optimization strategy utilizing the simplest dipeptide glycylglycine (Gly-Gly) additive is first proposed. Theoretical calculations and spectral analysis revealed that, due to the strong interaction between the amino group and Zn atoms, Gly-Gly preferentially adsorbs on zinc's surface, constructing a stable and adaptive interfacial layer that inhibits zinc side reactions and dendrite growth. Furthermore, Gly-Gly can regulate zinc ion solvation, leading to a deposition mode shift from dendritic to lamellar and limiting two-dimensional dendrite diffusion. The symmetric cell with the addition of a 20 g/L Gly-Gly additive exhibits a cycle life of up to 1100 h. Under a high current density of 10 mA cm-2, a cycle life of 750 cycles further demonstrates the reliable adaptability of the interfacial layer. This work highlights the potential of Gly-Gly as a promising solution for improving the performance of AZIBs.

Abstract
The performance of aqueous zinc metal batteries is significantly compromised by the stability of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), which is intimately linked to the structure of the electrical double layer (EDL) between the zinc anode and electrolyte. Furthermore, understanding the mechanical behavior of SEI is crucial, as it governs its response to stress induced by volume changes, fracture, or deformation. In this study, we introduce l-glutamine (Gln) as an additive to regulate the adsorbed environment of the EDL and in situ produce a hybrid SEI consisting of ZnS and Gln-related species. The results of the nanoindentation test indicate that the hybrid SEI exhibits a low modulus and low hardness, alongside exceptional shape recovery capability, which effectively limits side reactions and enables topological adaptation to volume fluctuations in zinc anodes during zinc ion plating/stripping, thereby enabling Zn//Zn symmetric cells to exhibit an ultralong cycle life of 4000 h in coin cells and a high cumulative capacity of 18,000 mA h in pouch cells. More importantly, the superiority of the formulated strategy is further demonstrated in Zn//NH4V4O10 full cells at different N/P ratios of 5.2, 4.9, 3.5, and 2.4. This provides a promising approach for future interfacial modulation in aqueous battery chemistry.

Abstract
To tackle the shortcomings of traditional battery systems, there has been much focus on aqueous Zn-ion batteries due to various advantages. However, they still suffer from poor stability of Zn anodes. Here, a methionine additive with unique Janus properties is proposed to regulate the behavior of the interface between Zn anodes and the electrolyte environment. Systematic characterizations as well as calculations elucidate that the Janus additive is adsorbed on the Zn anode via zincophilic -NH2, changing the structure of the electric double layer and breaking the hydrogen bonding network among H2O molecules through hydrophobic S-CH3. At the same time, it can induce preferential formation of Zn(101) with high reversibility. The above two functions contribute to the dendrite inhibiting ability of Zn anodes. As validated, fabricated Zn//Zn symmetric cells achieve stable cycles of 4500 h, 1165 h, and 318 h at 1, 5 and 10 mA cm-2/mA h cm-2, respectively. Furthermore, Zn//Cu asymmetric cells with an average coulombic efficiency of 98.9% for 2200 stable cycles can be realized. Finally, Zn//MnO2 full cells exhibit 79.9% capacity retention with an ultra-high coulombic efficiency of 99.9% for 1000 cycles, much better than that of the pure Zn(ClO4)2 system, indicating the great potential of this useful strategy in aqueous batteries.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) have attracted intense attention due to their high safety and low cost. Unfortunately, the serious dendrite growth and side reactions of the Zn metal anode in an aqueous electrolyte result in rapid battery failure, hindering the practical application of AZIBs. Herein, sodium gluconate as a dual-functional electrolyte additive has been employed to enhance the electrochemical performance of AZIBs. Gluconate anions preferentially adsorb on the surface of the Zn anode, which effectively prevents H2 evolution and induces uniform Zn deposition to suppress dendrite growth. Moreover, the gluconate anions can highly coordinate with Zn2+, promoting the dissolution of [Zn(H2O)6]2+ to inhibit side reactions and the water-induced corrosion reaction. As a result, the Zn||Zn symmetric battery exhibits a long-term cycling stability of over 3000 h at 1 mA cm-2/1 mA h cm-2 and 600 h at 10 mA cm-2/10 mA h cm-2. Furthermore, the NH4V4O10||Zn full battery also displays excellent cycling stability and a high reversible capacity of 193 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 1000 cycles. Given the low-cost advantage of SG, the proposed interface chemistry modulation strategy holds considerable potential for promoting the commercialization of AZIBs.

Abstract
The violent side reactions of Zn metal in aqueous electrolyte lead to sharp local-pH fluctuations at the interface, which accelerate Zn anode breakdown; thus, the development of an optimization strategy to accommodate a wide pH range is particularly critical for improving aqueous Zn metal batteries. Herein, we report a pH-adaptive electric double layer (EDL) tuned by glycine (Gly) additive with pH-dependent ionization, which exhibits excellent capability to stabilize Zn anodes in wide-pH aqueous electrolytes. It is discovered that a Gly-ionic EDL facilitates the directed migration of charge carriers in both mildly acidic and alkaline electrolytes, leading to the successful suppression of local saturation. It is worth mentioning that the regulation effect of the additive concentration on the inner Helmholtz plane (IHP) structure of Zn electrodes is clarified in depth. It is revealed that the Gly additives without dimerization can develop orderly and dense vertical adsorption within the IHP to effectively reduce the EDL repulsive force of Zn2+ and isolate H2O from the anode surface. Consequently, they Zn anode with tunable EDL exhibits superior electrochemical performance in a wide range of pH and temperature, involving the prodigious cycle reversibility of 7000 h at Zn symmetric cells with ZnSO4-Gly electrolytes and an extended lifespan of 50 times in Zn symmetric cells with KOH-Gly electrolytes. Moreover, acidic Zn powder||MnO2 pouch cells, and alkaline high-voltage Zn||Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cells, and Zn||NiCo-LDH cells also deliver excellent cycling reversibility. The tunable EDL enables the ultrahigh depth of discharge (DOD) of 93%. This work elucidates the design of electrolyte additives compatible in a wide range of pH and temperature, which might cause inspiration in the fields of practical multiapplication scenarios for Zn anodes.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn metal batteries are considered promising energy storage devices due to their high energy density and low cost. Unfortunately, such great potential is at present obscured by two clouds called dendrite growth and parasitic reactions. Herein, trace amounts of sodium cyclamate (CYC-Na) are introduced as an electrolyte additive, and accordingly, an atomic-pinning-induced interfacial solvation mechanism is proposed to summarize the effect of trace addition. Specifically, coadsorption of -NH- and -SO3 groups overcomes the ring-flipping effect and pins the CYC anion near the Zn anode surface in parallel, which significantly modifies the Zn2+ solvation sheath at the interface. This process homogenizes the surface Zn2+ flux and reduces the H2O and SO42- content on the surface, thus eliminating byproducts and leveling Zn deposition. Cells with trace CYC-Na cycle stably for 3650 h and still cycle for 330 h at high depths of discharge of 56.9%. This work dispels the clouds for efficient trace additives for AZMBs.

Abstract
Dendrite growth and corrosion of Zn metal anodes result in the limited reversibility of aqueous Zn metal batteries (ZMBs), hindering their prospects as large-scale energy storage devices. Inspired by the similarity of conventional electroplating industrial engineering and Zn deposition in ZMBs, we tend to utilize a low-cost leveling agent (LEA), 1,4-butynediol, to level the Zn deposition. Combining theoretical with in situ experimental characterizations, the preferential adsorption of LEA molecules on different lattice planes can contribute to crystallographic orientation manipulation of the (002) plane, causing good inhibition of dendrite growth. Additionally, the adsorption of LEA molecules on the Zn surface can also prevent undesirable corrosion. Endowed with these merits, symmetric cells and full cells with the LEA additive achieve improved stability and reversibility. This work provides new inspiration for introducing traditional electroplating additives into high-performance ZMBs and gives researchers a direction for choosing electrolyte additives, which also has potential to be applied to other metal anodes.

Abstract
The dendrite growth and parasitic reactions that occur on Zn metal anode (ZMA)/electrolyte interface hinder the development of aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) in next-generation renewable energy storage systems. Fortunately, reconstructing the inner Helmholtz layer (IHL) by introducing an electrolyte additive, is viewed as one of the most promising strategies to harvest the stable ZMA. Herein, (4-chloro-3-nitrophenyl) (pyridin-4-yl) methanone (CNPM) with quadruple functional groups is introduced into the ZnSO4 electrolyte to reshape the interface between ZMA and electrolyte and change the solvation structure of Zn2+ . Density functional theory (DFT) calculations manifest that the ─C═O, ─Cl, ─C═N─, and ─NO2 functional groups of CNPM interact with metallic Zn simultaneously and adsorb on the ZMA surface in a parallel arrangement manner, thus forming a water-poor IHL and creating well-arranged ion transportation channels. Furthermore, theoretical calculations and experimental results demonstrate that CNPM absorbed on the Zn anode surface can serve as zincophilic sites for inducing uniform Zn deposition along the (002) plane. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of these functions, the dendrite growth and parasitic reactions are suppressed significantly. As a result, ZMA exhibits a long cycle life (2900 h) and high coulombic efficiency (CE) (500 cycles) in the ZnSO4 +CNPM electrolyte.

Abstract
To cater to the swift advance of flexible wearable electronics, there is growing demand for flexible energy storage system (ESS). Aqueous zinc ion energy storage systems (AZIESSs), characterizing safety and low cost, are competitive candidates for flexible energy storage. Hydrogels, as quasi-solid substances, are the appropriate and burgeoning electrolytes that enable high-performance flexible AZIESSs. However, challenges still remain in designing suitable and comprehensive hydrogel electrolyte, which provides flexible AZIESSs with high reversibility and versatility. Hence, the application of hydrogel electrolyte-based AZIESSs in wearable electronics is restricted. A thorough review is required for hydrogel electrolyte design to pave the way for high-performance flexible AZIESSs. This review delves into the engineering of desirable hydrogel electrolytes for flexible AZIESSs from the perspective of electrolyte designers. Detailed descriptions of hydrogel electrolytes in basic characteristics, Zn anode, and cathode stabilization effects as well as their functional properties are provided. Moreover, the application of hydrogel electrolyte-based flexible AZIESSs in wearable electronics is discussed, expecting to accelerate their strides toward lives. Finally, the corresponding challenges and future development trends are also presented, with the hope of inspiring readers.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc (Zn) ion batteries are attractive for next generation batteries with high safety, yet their applications are still hindered by the uncontrollable dendrite formation and side reactions on Zn anode. Here, a polyzwitterion protective layer (PZIL) was engineered by polymerizing 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) in carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), which renders the following merits: the choline groups of MPC can preferentially adsorb onto Zn metal to avoid side reactions; the charged phosphate groups chelate with Zn2+ to regulate the solvation structure, further improving side reaction inhibition; the Hofmeister effect between ZnSO4 and CMCS can enhance the interfacial contact during electrochemical characterization. Consequently, the symmetrical Zn battery with PZIL can keep stable for more than 1000 hours under the ultra-high current density of 40 mA cm-2 . The PZIL confers the Zn/MnO2 full battery and Zn/active carbon (AC) capacitor with stable cycling performance under high current density.

Abstract
In situ electrochemical activation brings unexpected electrochemical performance improvements to electrode materials, while the mechanism behind is still needed to study deeply. Herein, an in situ electrochemically approach is developed for the activation of heterointerface MnOx /Co3 O4 by inducing Mn-defect, wherein the Mn defects are formed through a charge process that converts the MnOx with poor electrochemical activities toward Zn2+ into high electrochemically active cathode for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). Guided by the coupling engineering strategy, the heterointerface cathode exhibits an intercalation/conversion dual-mechanism without structural collapse during storage/release of Zn2+ . The heterointerfaces between different phases can generate built-in electric fields, reducing the energy barrier for ion migration and facilitating electron/ion diffusion. As a consequence, the dual-mechanism MnOx /Co3 O4 shows an outstanding fast charging performance and maintains a capacity of 401.03 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 . More importantly, a ZIB based on MnOx /Co3 O4 delivered an energy density of 166.09 Wh kg-1 at an ultrahigh power density of 694.64 W kg-1 , which outperforms those of fast charging supercapacitors. This work provides insights for using defect chemistry to introduce novel properties in active materials for highly for high-performance aqueous ZIBs.

Abstract
Zn anodes of aqueous Zn metal batteries face challenges from dendrite growth and side reactions. Building Zn(002) texture mitigates the issues but does not eradicate them. Zn(002) still faces severe challenges from corrosive electrolytes and dendrite growth, especially after hundreds of cycles. Therefore, it is necessary to have a passivation layer covering Zn(002). Here, Zn(002) texture and surface coating are achieved on Zn foils by an one-step annealing process, as demonstrated by ZnS, ZnSe, ZnF2, Zn3(PO4)2 (ZPO), etc. Using ZPO as a model, the coupling between surface coating and Zn(002) is illustrated in terms of dendrite-suppressing ability and diffusion energy barrier of Zn2+. The modified Zn foils (Zn(002)@ZPO) exhibit the excellent electrochemical performance, far superior to Zn(002) or ZPO alone. In the full cells, the performance is greatly improved even under harsh conditions, i.e., high areal capacity and limited Zn resource. This work achieves crystal engineering and surface coating on Zn anodes simultaneously and discloses the in-depth insights about the synergy of crystal orientation and passivation layers.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising candidates to power flexible integrated functional systems because they are safe and environmentally friendly. Among the numerous cathode materials proposed, Mn-based compounds, particularly MnO2, have attracted special attention because of their high energy density, nontoxicity, and low cost. However, the cathode materials reported so far are characterized by sluggish Zn2+ storage kinetics and moderate stabilities. Herein, a ZIB cathode based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-coated MnSe nanoparticles (MnSe@rGO) is proposed. After MnSe was activated to α-MnO2, the ZIB exhibits a specific capacity of up to 290 mAh g-1. The mechanism underlying the improvement in the electrochemical performance of the MnSe@rGO based electrode is investigated using a series of electrochemical tests and first-principles calculations. Additionally, in situ Raman spectroscopy is used to track the phase transition of the MnSe@rGO cathodes during the initial activation, proving the structural evolution from the LO to MO6 mode. Because of the high mechanical stability of MnSe@rGO, flexible miniaturized energy storage devices can be successfully printed using a high-precision electrohydrodynamic (EHD) jet printer and integrated with a touch-controlled light-emitting diode array system, demonstrating the application of flexible EHD jet-printed microbatteries.
