Abstract

Aqueous Zn batteries are promising energy storage devices for large-scale energy-storage due to low cost and high energy density. However, their lifespan is limited by the water decomposition and Zn dendrite growth. Here, we suppress water reduction and Zn dendrite growth in dilute aqueous electrolyte by adding dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) into ZnCl 2 –H 2 O, in which DMSO replaces the H 2 O in Zn 2+ solvation sheath due to a higher Gutmann donor number (29.8) of DMSO than that (18) of H 2 O. The preferential solvation of DMSO with Zn 2+ and strong H 2 O–DMSO interaction inhibit the decomposition of solvated H 2 O. In addition, the decomposition of solvated DMSO forms Zn 12 (SO 4 ) 3 Cl 3 (OH) 15 ·5H 2 O, ZnSO 3, and ZnS enriched-solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) preventing Zn dendrite and further suppressing water decomposition. The ZnCl 2 –H 2 O–DMSO electrolyte enables Zn anodes in Zn||Ti half-cell to achieve a high average Coulombic efficiency of 99.5% for 400 cycles (400 h), and the Zn||MnO 2 full cell with a low capacity ratio of Zn:MnO 2 at 2:1 to deliver a high energy density of 212 Wh/kg (based on both cathode and anode) and maitain 95.3% of the capacity over 500 cycles at 8 C.

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.
