High-voltage aqueous zinc ion batteries(AZIBs)with a high-safety near-neutral electrolyte is of great significance for practical sustainable application;however,they suffer from anode and electrode/electrolyte interfacial incompatibility.Herein,a conversion-type anode chemistry with a low anodic potential,which is guided by the Gibbs free energy change of conversion reaction,was designed for high-voltage near-neutral AZIBs.A reversible conversion reaction between ZnC2O4·2H2O particles and three-dimensional Zn metal networks well-matched in CH3COOLi-based electrolyte was revealed.This mechanism can be universally validated in the battery systems with sodium or iodine ions.More importantly,a cathodic crowded micellar electrolyte with a water confinement effect was proposed in which lies the core for the stability and reversibility of the cathode under an operating platform voltage beyond 2.0 V,obtaining a capacity retention of 95%after 100 cycles.Remarkably,the scientific and technological challenges from the coin cell to Ah-scale battery,sluggish kinetics of the solid-solid electrode reaction,capacity excitation under high loading of active material,and preparation complexities associated with large-area quasi-solid electrolytes,were explored,successfully achieving an 88%capacity retention under high loading of more than 20 mg cm-2 and particularly a practical 1.1 Ah-level pouch cell.This work provides a path for designing low-cost,eco-friendly and high-voltage aqueous batteries.
