Herein, methoxy polyethylene glycol-phosphate (mPEG-P) is introduced as an electrolyte additive to achieve long anti-calendar aging and high-rate capabilities. The polyanionic of mPEG-P self-assembles via noncovalent-interactions on electrode surface to form polyether-based cation channels and in situ organic–inorganic hybrid solid electrolyte interface layer, which ensure rapid Zn2+ mass transfer and suppresses interfacial parasitic reactions, realizing outstanding cycling/calendar aging stability. As a result, the Zn//Zn symmetric cells with mPEG-P present long lifespans over 9000 and 2500 cycles at ultrahigh current densities of 120 and 200 mA cm−2, respectively. Besides, the coulombic efficiency (CE) of the Zn//Cu cell with mPEG-P additive (88.21%) is much higher than that of the cell (36.4%) at the initial cycle after the 15-day calendar aging treatment, presenting excellent anti-static corrosion performance. Furthermore, after 20-day aging, the Zn//MnO2 cell exhibits a superior capacity retention of 89% compared with that of the cell without mPEG-P (28%) after 150 cycles. This study provides a promising avenue for boosting the development of high efficiency and durable metallic zinc based stationary energy storage system. date: 2024-06-27 date_type: published publisher: Wiley official_url: https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.202404513 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2292607 doi: 10.1002/advs.202404513 medium: Print-Electronic lyricists_name: He, Guanjie lyricists_id: GJHEX85 actors_name: He, Guanjie actors_id: GJHEX85 actors_role: owner funding_acknowledgements: 2018YFA0704502 [National Key Research and Development Program of China]; U22A20436 [National Natural Science Foundation of China]; 2022L3090 [Special Program for Guiding Local Science and Technology Development by the Central Government] full_text_status: public publication: Advanced Science article_number: 2404513 event_location: Germany issn: 2198-3844 citation: Yang, Zimin; Sun, Yilun; Li, Jianwei; He, Guanjie; Chai, Guoliang; (2024) Noncovalent Interactions-Driven Self-Assembly of Polyanionic Additive for Long Anti-Calendar Aging and High-Rate Zinc Metal Batteries.
