Succinonitrile Electrolyte Additive for Stabilizing Aqueous Zinc Metal Batteries

The utilization of water electrolytes in zinc-ion batteries offers the advantages of enhanced safety, reduced cost, and improved environmental friendliness, rendering them an optimal choice for replacing lithium-ion batteries. Nevertheless, the conventional zinc sulfate electrolyte fails to meet stringent requirements. Therefore, developing electrolytes is crucial for addressing the low cycle life of zinc ions and suppressing the growth of zinc dendrites. So we proposed a strategy for engineering dilution of aqueous Zn(OTf)
