摘要
由于缺乏先进的固体电解质界面相,水系锌电池的循环寿命受到锌金属负极副反应和枝晶等问题的严重制约.本文介绍了一种由两性分子(APMs)电解液添加剂构建而成的自组装电极-电解质界面相(AEEI).作为一个示范,这里选取聚乙烯吡咯烷酮(PVP)用做APMs,因为它的羰基氧原子与芳香性的吡咯环共轭,从而具有较强的电子给体性质.X射线光电子能谱和傅里叶变换红外光谱分析表明,AEEI的形成和稳定是由APMs的羰基氧原子同时与锌金属和锌离子相互作用推动的.所形成的AEEI主要由富含锌离子的APMs致密层状胶束构成.在电解质中保持APMs的含量在临界聚集浓度(～0.1％)以上,可以保证AEEI的固有稳定性,避免裂纹形成或脱落等问题.得益于其抑制水分解副反应和不利的二维锌扩散的能力,在AEEI的作用下实现了无枝晶的锌沉积.在1 M Zn(OTf)2添加1％PVP的电解液中,形成的AEEI保证了锌对称电池具有超过2000小时的长循环寿命,Zn||Ti电池500个循环后库仑效率高于99.2％,以及V2O5||Zn全电池500个循环后容量的高保持率(达76％).
Abstract
The cycle life of aqueous zinc batteries is hin-dered by undesired side reactions and dendrite growth of the Zn metal anode due to the lack of an advanced solid electrolyte interphase.Here,a pioneering self-assembled electrode-elec-trolyte interphase(AEEI)constructed from electrolyte ad-ditives of amphiphilic molecules(APMs)is presented.Specifically,polyvinyl pyrrolidone(PVP)molecules are de-monstrated due to their high electron-donating property of the carbonyl oxygen atoms in pyrrolidone groups that con-jugate with aromatic pyrrole rings.The formation and stabi-lity of this interphase is fundamentally prompted by the interaction between the carbonyl oxygen atoms of APMs and Zn metal as well as Zn2+ions,which is elucidated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.The resultant AEEI predominantly consists of a dense lamellar micelle of APMs enriched with Zn2+ions.Maintaining the contents of APMs above a critical aggregation concentration of～0.1％within the electrolyte guarantees the inherent stability of the AEEI,avoiding concerns of crack formation or detachment.Conformal and dendrite-free Zn deposition is achieved with the help of the AEEI,benefitting from its ability to suppress water decomposition side reactions and unfavorable 2D diffusion of Zn2+ions.The AEEI ensures a long cycle life of more than 2000 h for symmetric Zn cells,Coulombic efficiency of＞99.2％over 500 cycles for Zn||Ti cells,and a capacity retention of 76％over 500 cycles for V2O5||Zn full cells in 1 M Zn(OTf)2 electrolyte with 1％PVP.
