Tuning Ion Transport at the Anode‐Electrolyte Interface via a Sulfonate‐Rich Ion‐Exchange Layer for Durable Zinc‐Iodine Batteries

Tuning Ion Transport at the Anode‐Electrolyte Interface via a Sulfonate‐Rich Ion‐Exchange Layer... Rechargeable aqueous zinc‐iodine batteries (ZIBs) are considered a promising newly‐developing energy‐storage system, but the corrosion and dendritic growth occurring on the anode seriously hinder their future application. Here, the corrosion mechanism of polyiodide is revealed in detail, showing that it can spontaneously react with zinc and cause rapid battery failure. To address this issue, a sulfonate‐rich ion‐exchange layer (SC‐PSS) is purposely constructed to modulate the transport and reaction chemistry of polyiodide and Zn2+ at the zinc/electrolyte interface. The resulting ZIBs can work properly over 6000 cycles with high‐capacity retention (90.2%) and reversibility (99.89%). Theoretical calculations and experimental characterization reveal that the SC‐PPS layer blocks polyiodide permeation through electrostatic repulsion, while facilitating desolvation of Zn(H2O)62+ and restricting undesirable 2D diffusion of Zn2+ by chemisorption. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Advanced Energy Materials Wiley

Abstract

Rechargeable aqueous zinc‐iodine batteries (ZIBs) are considered a promising newly‐developing energy‐storage system, but the corrosion and dendritic growth occurring on the anode seriously hinder their future application. Here, the corrosion mechanism of polyiodide is revealed in detail, showing that it can spontaneously react with zinc and cause rapid battery failure. To address this issue, a sulfonate‐rich ion‐exchange layer (SC‐PSS) is purposely constructed to modulate the transport and reaction chemistry of polyiodide and Zn2+ at the zinc/electrolyte interface. The resulting ZIBs can work properly over 6000 cycles with high‐capacity retention (90.2%) and reversibility (99.89%). Theoretical calculations and experimental characterization reveal that the SC‐PPS layer blocks polyiodide permeation through electrostatic repulsion, while facilitating desolvation of Zn(H2O)62+ and restricting undesirable 2D diffusion of Zn2+ by chemisorption.
