Abstract
In view of the advantages of low cost, environmental sustainability, and high safety, aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) are widely expected to hold significant promise and increasingly infiltrate various applications in the near future. The development of AZIBs closely relates to the properties of cathode materials, which depend on their structures and corresponding dynamic evolution processes. Synchrotron radiation light sources, with their rich advanced experimental methods, serve as a comprehensive characterization platform capable of elucidating the intricate microstructure of cathode materials for AZIBs. In this review, we initially examine available cathode materials and discuss effective strategies for structural regulation to boost the storage capability of Zn2+. We then explore the synchrotron radiation techniques for investigating the microstructure of the designed materials, particularly through in situ synchrotron radiation techniques that can track the dynamic evolution process of the structures. Finally, the summary and future prospects for the further development of cathode materials of AZIBs and advanced synchrotron radiation techniques are discussed.
