AbstractDespite the advantages of aqueous zinc (Zn) metal batteries (AZMB) like high specific capacity (820 mAh g−1 and 5,854 mAh cm−3), low redox potential (−0.76 V vs. the standard hydrogen electrode), low cost, water compatibility, and safety, the development of practically relevant batteries is plagued by several issues like unwanted hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), corrosion of Zn substrate (insulating ZnO, Zn(OH)2, Zn(SO4)x(OH)y, Zn(ClO4)x(OH)y etc. passivation layer), and dendrite growth. Controlling and suppressing HER activity strongly correlates with the long‐term cyclability of AZMBs. Therefore, a precise quantitative technique is needed to monitor the real‐time dynamics of hydrogen evolution during Zn electrodeposition. In this study, we quantify hydrogen evolution using in situ electrochemical mass spectrometry (ECMS). This methodology enables us to determine a correction factor for the faradaic efficiency of this system with unmatched precision. For instance, during the electrodeposition of zinc on a copper substrate at a current density of 1.5 mA/cm2 for 600 seconds, 0.3 % of the total charge is attributed to HER, while the rest contributes to zinc electrodeposition. At first glance, this may seem like a small fraction, but it can be detrimental to the long‐term cycling performance of AZMBs. Furthermore, our results provide insights into the correlation between HER and the porous morphology of the electrodeposited zinc, unravelling the presence of trapped H2 and Zn corrosion during the charging process. Overall, this study sets a platform to accurately determine the faradaic efficiency of Zn electrodeposition and provides a powerful tool for evaluating electrolyte additives, salts, and electrode modifications aimed at enhancing long‐term stability and suppressing the HER in aqueous Zn batteries.
