Cation-driven phase transition and anion-enhanced kinetics for high energy efficiency zinc-interhalide complex batteries
2025
Overview
Aqueous Zn-halogen batteries, valued for high safety, large capacity, and low cost, suffer from the polyhalide shuttle effect and chaotic zinc electrodeposition, reducing energy efficiency and lifespan. Here we show a cation-driven positive electrode phase transition to suppress the shuttle effect and achieve uniform zinc electrodeposition, along with an anion kinetic enhancement strategy to improve energy efficiency and lifespan. Taking tetramethylammonium halide (TMAX, X = F, Cl, Br) as a subject, TMA

Aqueous Zn-halogen batteries suffer from efficiency loss due to polyhalide shuttling and chaotic Zn plating. Here, authors demonstrate a cation-anion synergy strategy that suppresses shuttling and directs uniform Zn deposition, achieving 95.2% high energy efficiency.
