When It's Heavier: Interfacial and Solvation Chemistry of Isotopes in Aqueous Electrolytes for Zn-ion Batteries

Xuan Gao et al.

Summary: The use of the isotope electrochemical effect (EEI) of water in Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs) electrolyte addresses the challenges of side reactions and gas production. The low diffusion and strong coordination of ions in D2O reduce the possibility of side reactions, resulting in a broader potential window, less pH change, and less zinc hydroxide sulfate (ZHS) generation during cycling. D2O also eliminates different ZHS phases caused by changes in bound water, leading to a stable electrode-electrolyte interface. Full cells with D2O-based electrolyte demonstrate stable cycling performance with high reversible efficiencies and wide voltage windows.

Reversible Zn Metal Anodes Enabled by Trace Amounts of Underpotential Deposition Initiators

Yuhang Dai et al.

Summary: Routine electrolyte additives are not effective enough for uniform zinc (Zn) deposition. Based on underpotential deposition (UPD), an escort effect of electrolyte additives for uniform Zn deposition at the atomic level is proposed. With nickel ion (Ni2+) additives, metallic Ni deposits preferentially and triggers the UPD of Zn on Ni, facilitating firm nucleation and uniform growth of Zn while suppressing side reactions. The optimized cell operates for over 900 h at 1 mA cm(-2), more than 4 times longer than the blank one, indicating the significance of this work.

Trace Amounts of Triple-Functional Additives Enable Reversible Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries from a Comprehensive Perspective

Ruwei Chen et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates a new strategy for stabilizing zinc anodes in aqueous zinc-ion batteries by adding trace amounts of ammonium hydroxide. The additive helps protect the zinc anodes by lowering the hydrogen evolution reaction potential, promoting the formation of a uniform solid electrolyte interphase, and homogenizing the electric field. This comprehensive protection enables dendrite-free zinc deposition and improved electrochemical performance in zinc//MnO2 full cells.

Solid-Electrolyte Interphase Chemistries Towards High-Performance Aqueous Zinc Metal Batteries

Wei Zhang et al.

Summary: Aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) are a promising electrochemical energy storage technology due to their high safety, low cost, and high energy density. However, they suffer from side reactions such as dendrite formation and hydrogen evolution. Researchers at the University of Adelaide have developed a novel electrolyte using dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) as a solvent to create a stable and uniform phosphate-based solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer on the zinc surface. This results in improved Coulombic efficiencies and capacity retentions.

Electron transfer behaviour of ternary Fe-Zn-F active phase and its enhancement of hydrodesulfurization activity of DBT

Rong Guo et al.

Summary: A ternary hydrodesulfurization catalyst with fluorine introduced into the FeZn bimetallic active sites was prepared in this study. The sulfur removal ability gradually increases with the addition of F and reaches a plateau. The fluorinated catalyst exhibits a maximum activity 6 times higher than FeZn catalyst at 613 K. The characterization results confirm the presence of synergy effect in the ternary FeZnF species, where the addition of F improves acidity, optimizes metal species dispersion, weakens Fe-O/Fe-S bond, and enhances sulfurization degree, leading to more active sites and notable HDS activity.

The technique demonstrates sensitivity to dendrite formation, especially in the early stages of charging and discharging processes.
