The state-of-the-art water-in-salt electrolytes exhibit wider electrochemical window than conventional dilute aqueous electrolytes. However, the extended electrochemical stability window via increasing salt concentration has reached a bottleneck. An alternative approach...
In recent years, the development of aqueous lithium‐ion batteries and aqueous zinc‐ion batteries has received extensive attention thanks to the advantages of high safety, environmental friendliness, and easy assembly conditions. However, aqueous batteries are always restricted in terms of limited cycling stability and low energy density due to their intrinsically narrow electrochemical window, hydrogen evolution, and side reactions. These problems can be remarkably alleviated by hybridizing aqueous/non‐aqueous electrolytes; however, few detailed discussions on relevant strategies have been reported. In this mini‐review, we summarize the latest progress and contributions of various hybrid aqueous/non‐aqueous electrolytes for rechargeable aqueous lithium‐ion batteries and aqueous zinc‐ion batteries. The current challenges and development directions are also discussed for hybrid electrolytes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
