Electrolyte design for reversible zinc metal chemistry

Here we present an on-demand strategy for electrolytes design to surpass 99.9% Coulombic efficiency (CE) in zinc metal anode. This strategy synergizes various effects by specifically targeting the two critical factors: plating morphology and the anode-electrolyte interface. In this dataset, we simulated the solvation structures and bilayer structures of various electrolytes by molecular dynamics simulations. We found Triethyl phosphate and dimethylformamide can induce the free-water-poor inner Helmholtz plane and reduce the interfacial water activity. Furthermore, the MD results imply that the dual-salt introduces more anions into the Zn2+ primary solvation sheath, and the DMF co-solvent is also able to enter the solvation sheath.
