Abstract

Zn metals anodes (ZMAs) are most attractive for emerging aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs). However, the practical application of AZMBs is still impeded by various formidable issues like uncontrolled Zn dendritic growth, hydrogen evolution reaction, and severe corrosion of ZMAs. This review delves into the pivotal role of interfacial ionic effects in AZMBs. We elucidate how ionic additives can reshape the electric double layer (EDL), thereby mitigating the issues for AZMBs. Given the different influences on the EDL behavior including the water dipoles, local electric field, solvation structure, electrochemical reaction, etc., we divide it into five primary interfacial effects of the steri..
