By utilizing a double-layered cathode structure, the undesired shuttling of triiodide ions has been successfully suppressed, resulting in outstanding Coulombic efficiency and voltage efficiency for ZIBs. These findings offer new insights for the design and fabrication of ZIBs and other batteries based on conversion reactions.
Aqueous rechargeable zinc-iodine batteries (ZIBs) are promising candidates for grid energy storage because they are safe and low-cost and have high energy density. However, the shuttling of highly soluble triiodide ions severely limits the device's Coulombic efficiency. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time a double-layered cathode configuration with a conductive layer (CL) coupled with an adsorptive layer (AL) for ZIBs. This unique cathode structure enables the formation and reduction of adsorbed I-3(-) ions at the CL/AL interface, successfully suppressing triiodide ion shuttling. A prototypical ZIB using a carbon cloth as the CL and a polypyrrole layer as the AL simultaneously achieves outstanding Coulombic efficiency (up to 95.6%) and voltage efficiency (up to 91.3%) in the aqueous ZnI2 electrolyte even at high-rate intermittent charging/discharging, without the need of ion selective membranes. These findings provide new insights to the design and fabrication of ZIBs and other batteries based on conversion reactions.
