Abstract:
In this study, we unveil a critical function of anions in tailoring the interfacial water coordination environment and electronic structure at the Zn-electrolyte interface. These features thermodynamically hinder water-induced parasitic reactions, enabling highly reversible Zn plating/stripping. And the optimal electrolyte supports high-mass-loading applications in Zn-MnO2 batteries.
