Stabilizing Anion-Derived Interphase by Machine-Learning-Accelerated Screening of Out-of-Shell Co-Solvents for Aqueous Zinc Batteries.

Aqueous zinc batteries (AZBs) lack a stable anion-derived solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the Zn anode, resulting in severe competition between Zn deposition and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). A conventional in-shell co-solvent coordinates strongly with Zn2+, displacing coordinated water and weakening Zn2...
