“…IL‐surface functionalized PS spheres facilitated the rapid diffusion of the Zn 2+ ions upon polarization and allowed the formation of porous and dendrite‐free zinc deposits during charge/discharge processes. [ 154 ] Moreover, metal–organic frame with unique structure can also effectively fix the anions of ILs and effectively increase the migration number of zinc ions, which also is an effective strategy to improve the performance of ILs electrolytes. The strategy was widely used in LIBs but rarely used for ZIBs, especially in combination with ILs electrolytes.…”

Designing high performance electrolyte is an efficient strategy to circumvent these problems. As one of the most important components, electrolytes provide the basic operating environment to guarantee the transmission of the Zn 2+ between the two electrodes during the charge-discharge processes, affect the Zn 2+ /Zn plating/ stripping on the anode and deciding the electrochemically stable potential windows. [12] Since the utilization of alkaline electrolytes in batteries in earlier studies, Zn|KOH|MnO 2 batteries became a hot topic. [13] However, the using of an alkaline electrolyte always leads to the growth of Zn dendrites and the corrosion of the anode, resulting in rapid capacity fading. [14][15][16] Until 1986, the replacement of corrosive alkaline electrolyte systems by neutral aqueous electrolytes greatly improved the performance and safety of ZIBs. [17] Although the aqueous electrolytes alleviated the corrosion of the Zn electrode in some extent, the problems related to the growth of dendrites and the dissolution of the cathode, especially the limited electrochemical stability window (≈1.23 V) still are the challenge in the application of ZIBs. [18][19][20] The aqueous electrolytes of ZIBs often suffer from the water splitting process, including hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction. [21][22][23] Therefore, in order to overcome the problems mentioned above, "beyond aqueous" electrolytes for ZIBs have attracted extensive attention in recent years. [24][25][26] At present, the "beyond aqueous" electrolytes for ZIBs have been reported mainly include liquid organic electrolytes and solid electrolytes. Zn anode in the organic electrolytes have high thermodynamic stability, avoiding the appearance of passivation products inevitably generated in traditional aqueous solution, i.e., ZnO and Zn(OH) 4 −2. [27] Solid-state electrolytes have sufficient mechanical strength to inhibit the growth of dendrites. [28] Moreover, the "beyond aqueous" electrolytes without water fundamentally avoid the decomposition of water and the formation of side products related to water. Compared with aqueous electrolytes, the "beyond aqueous" electrolytes exhibit a wide electrochemical stability window (Figure 1) and excellent thermodynamic stability of Zn anode leading to Zn plating/ stripping high reversibility with higher Coulombic efficiencies (CEs). [29] Although significant advances have been made in improving the electrochemical performance of the "beyond aqueous" electrolytes for ZIBs, several severe issues still exist, which largely prevent the development of "beyond aqueous" ZIBs. [30][31][32][33][34][35] The main issues of "beyond aqueous" electrolytes With the growing demands for large-scale energy storage, Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs) with distinct advantages, including resource abundance, low-cost, high-safety, and acceptable energy density, are considered as potential substitutes for Li-ion batteries. Although numerous efforts are devoted to design and develop high performance cathodes and aqueous electrolyt...

Along with the booming research on zinc metal batteries (ZMBs) in recent years, operational issues originated from inferior interfacial reversibility have become inevitable. Presently, single‐component electrolytes represented by aqueous solution, “water‐in‐salt,” solid, eutectic, ionic liquids, hydrogel, or organic solvent system are hard to undertake independently the task of guiding the practical application of ZMBs due to their specific limitations. The hybrid electrolytes modulate microscopic interaction mode between Zn2+ and other ions/molecules, integrating vantage of respective electrolyte systems. They even demonstrate original Zn2+ mobility pattern or interfacial chemistries mechanism distinct from single‐component electrolytes, providing considerable opportunities for solving electromigration and interfacial problems in ZMBs. Therefore, it is urgent to comprehensively summarize the zinc chemistries principles, characteristics, and applications of various hybrid electrolytes employed in ZMBs. This review begins with elucidating the chemical bonding mode of Zn2+ and interfacial physicochemical theory, and then systematically elaborates the microscopic solvent structure, Zn2+ migration forms, physicochemical properties, and the zinc chemistries mechanisms at the anode/cathode interfaces in each type of hybrid electrolytes. Among of which, the scotoma and amelioration strategies for the current hybrid electrolytes are actively exposited, expecting to provide referenceable insights for further progress of future high‐quality ZMBs.
