Summary: The study presents a strategy to enhance Zn2+ diffusion and suppress hydrogen/oxygen evolution simultaneously within MXene host electrodes for high-energy-density symmetric ZMSCs. The designed MXene/BCF hybrid films effectively reduce Zn2+ diffusion barrier and induce additional pseudocapacitance, resulting in superior areal capacitance in ZMSCs. The use of a doubled voltage window in combination with suppressed kinetics of hydrogen/oxygen evolution leads to a significantly increased areal energy density compared to conventional electrolytes.

Ultra-long-life and highly reversible Zn metal anodes enabled by a desolvation and deanionization interface layer†

Xiaotan Zhang et al.

Summary: The CNG membrane, serving as a desolvation layer, effectively prevents water molecules from contacting the zinc anode, thereby delaying water-induced corrosion reactions and promoting redirected zinc deposition through deanionization shock. The flexible and toughened nature of the CNG membrane allows it to withstand strong forces and accommodate surface fluctuations of the zinc anode during plating/stripping processes, resulting in enhanced Coulombic efficiency and extended cycle life.

Non-concentrated aqueous electrolytes with organic solvent additives for stable zinc batteries†‡

Yang Dong et al.

Summary: This study presents a non-concentrated aqueous electrolyte composed of 2m zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate and the organic dimethyl carbonate additive, which can stabilize the zinc electrochemistry and improve the coulombic efficiency of the zinc anode. Furthermore, this electrolyte can sustain stable operation of rechargeable aqueous zinc batteries when paired with various cathode materials. Rational electrolyte design with organic solvent additives could lead to the development of better aqueous batteries.
