Reshaping the electrolyte structure and interface chemistry for stable aqueous zinc batteries

Guoqiang Ma et al.

Summary: In this study, the stability of metallic zinc anode in aqueous batteries was significantly improved by using a non-concentrated aqueous zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate electrolyte with 1,2-dimethoxyethane additive.
