“…A novel low‐temperature adaptive cellulose nanofiber (CNF)‐based sandwich structured flexible zinc–air battery (CNF‐FZAB‐PF) was constructed by using a CNF‐based flexible GPE containing lithium chloride. [ 100 ] The ZABs with CNF‐FZAB‐PF can work well at ultralow temperatures (−60 °C) (Figure 11g).…”

Aqueous zinc batteries are promising candidates for energy storage and conversion devices in the “post‐lithium” era due to their high energy density, high safety, and low cost. The electrolyte plays an important role in zinc batteries by conducting and separating the positive and negative electrodes. However, the issues of zinc dendrites growth, corrosion, by‐product formation, hydrogen evolution and leakage, and evaporation of the aqueous electrolytes affect the commercialization of the batteries. Moreover, the widely used aqueous electrolytes result in large battery sizes, which are not conducive to the emerging smart devices. The intrinsic properties of gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) can solve the above problems. In order to promote the wider application of GPEs‐based zinc batteries, in this review, the working principle and the current problems of zinc batteries are first introduced, andthe merits of GPEs compared to aqueous electrolytes are then summarized. Subsequently, a series of challenges and corresponding strategies faced by GPE is discussed, and an outlook for its future development is finally proposed.

“…Zn electrode is another serious constraint on the performance of Re-ZABs. During battery operation, Zn anodes often suffer from passivation, dendrite growth and hydrogen evolutional reaction, [14][15][16] which are detrimental to discharge performance, shelf life and cycling life of Re-ZABs. Hence, the problems of Zn electrode on Re-ZABs are also very urgent to be solved in the current stage.…”

Rechargeable zinc–air batteries (Re‐ZABs) are one of the most promising next‐generation batteries that can hold more energy while being cost‐effective and safer than existing devices. Nevertheless, zinc dendrites, non‐portability, and limited charge–discharge cycles have long been obstacles to the commercialization of Re‐ZABs. Over the past 30 years, milestone breakthroughs have been made in technical indicators (safety, high energy density, and long battery life), battery components (air cathode, zinc anode, and gas diffusion layer), and battery configurations (flexibility and portability), however, a comprehensive review on advanced design strategies for Re‐ZABs system from multiple angles is still lacking. This review underscores the progress and strategies proposed so far to pursuit the high‐efficiency Re‐ZABs system, including the aspects of rechargeability (from primary to rechargeable), air cathode (from unifunctional to bifunctional), zinc anode (from dendritic to stable), electrolytes (from aqueous to non‐aqueous), battery configurations (from non‐portable to portable), and industrialization progress (from laboratorial to practical). Critical appraisals of the advanced modification approaches (such as surface/interface modulation, nanoconfinement catalysis, defect electrochemistry, synergistic electrocatalysis, etc.) are highlighted for cost‐effective flexible Re‐ZABs with good sustainability and high energy density. Finally, insights are further rendered properly for the future research directions of advanced zinc–air batteries.
