Unveiling the role of water in enhancing the performance of zinc-ion batteries using dimethyl sulfoxide electrolyte and the manganese dioxide cathode

In dimethyl sulfoxide electrolytes, the existence of water can lead to changes occurring in the zinc-ionintercalated phase. A Zn-birnessite, when replaced by a super-hydrated Zn-buserite, enhanced solid-phase diffusion and surface kinetics.
