Designing Electrolyte Structure to Suppress Hydrogen Evolution Reaction in Aqueous Batteries
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Aqueous batteries (ABs) have attracted increasing attention because of their inherent safety and low cost. Nevertheless, hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at the anode presents severe challenges for stable and safe operation of ABs. Instead of passivating the anode surface to hinder HER kinetics, a novel design strategy is proposed here to suppress the HER via alternating its thermodynamics pathway. By adding a hydrogen bond acceptor, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), the onset potential of HER can be delayed by as much as 1.0 V (on titanium mesh). Spectral characterization and molecular dynamics simulation confirm that the formation of hydrogen bonds between DMSO and water molecules can reduce the water activity, thereby suppressing the HER. This strategy has proven to be universal in expanding the electrochemical window of aqueous electrolytes. For instance, unconventional V2+↔V3+ redox processes in Na3V2(PO4)3 (-1.2 V versus Ag/AgCl) and highly stable Zn plating/stripping processes can be realized in ABs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
