Abstract:
Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage due to their low cost, high safety and environmental sustainability. However, they still face limitations in cycling life, caused by dendritic Zn growth and severe interface side reactions. Recent research indicates that water dipoles in the Helmholtz plane are the main culprits causing these side reactions. Herein, we synergistically engineer the inner Helmholtz plane and outer Helmholtz plane at the interface by a multifunctional ionic liquid with self-buffering pH characteristics, pyridine trifluoroacetate (PYTR), obtaining a water-scarce inner Helmholtz plane and TR- involved in the solvated structure during the cycling process can rapidly de-solvated and form an organic–inorganic hybrid SEI layer on the surface of the zinc anode. The hydrophobic PY+ ions can stably adsorb onto the Zn surface and participate in the formation of inner Helmholtz plane, forming water-scarce inner Helmholtz plane and effectively preventing side reactions caused by water dipoles. The TR- ions participate in regulating the solvation structure of hydrated Zn2+, forming an outer Helmholtz plane, thus facilitating the formation of ZnF2-rich SEI during electrochemical cycling process. As a result, the Zn|Cu half cells can cycle stably with a high coulombic efficiency (CE) of ∼ 99.8 % over 1500 cycles, and the Zn‖Zn symmetric cells can maintain 1600 h at a current density of 1.0 mA cm−2, due to the construction of a water-poor Helmholtz plane as well as a stable SEI layer, >6700 h of cycling at 0.2 mA cm−2/0.2 mAh cm−2 were achieved. Additionally, Zn‖(NH4)2V6O16 full cells assembled with a low N/P ratio (3:1) can run stably over 800 cycles at a current density of 1.0 A g−1. This work provides a valuable guideline for designing the Helmholtz plane in aqueous Zinc ion batteries. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
