AbstractIn recent years, aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have attracted significant attention in energy storage due to their notable advantages, including high safety, low cost, high capacity, and environmental friendliness. However, side reactions like hydrogen evolution and zinc (Zn) dendrites can significantly impact their Coulombic efficiency (CE) and lifespan. Effectively addressing these issues has become a focus of research in this field.

AbstractRechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), renowned for their safety, high energy density and rapid charging, are prime choices for grid-scale energy storage. Historically, ion-shuttling models centring on ion-migration behaviour have dominated explanations for charge/discharge processes in aqueous batteries, like classical ion insertion/extraction and pseudocapacitance mechanisms.
