Regulation of Zn2+ Solvation Configuration in Aqueous Batteries via Selenium‐Substituted Crown Ether Engineering

The efficient utilization of the metallic Zn in rechargeable aqueous Zn-ion batteries (RAZBs) struggle to suffer from parasitic Zn dendrite formation, hydrogen evolution reactions as well as severe interfacial degradation at high areal capacity loadings. This study thus proposes to employ the modified crown ether as an aqueous electrolyte additive to regulate the Zn
