Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) hold promises as a safer, more cost-effective, and environmental-friendly alternative to lithium-ion batteries, especially for stationary energy storage. Recent advancements in protective anode coatings, which fine-tune zinc ion solvation structure, have yielded significant improvements in the aqueous ZIB performance, addressing dendrite formation and side reactions, thereby prolonging cycle lifetime. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of these coatings as ions sieves is crucial for further optimization and achieving long-term stability, which is a key requirement for practical applications. This concept explores recent developments in ZIB anode coatings from the view of molecular mechanisms and points out future research directions.
