High-Entropy Multiple-Anion Aqueous Electrolytes for Long-Life Zn-Metal Anodes

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) hold great promise for large-scale energy storage applications, however, their practical use is significantly hindered by issues such as zinc dendrite growth and hydrogen evolution. To address these challenges, we propose a high-entropy (HE) electrolyte design strategy that incorporates multiple zinc salts, aimed at enhancing ion kinetics and improving the electrochemical stability of the electrolyte. The interactions between multiple anions and Zn
