Solvation Regulation and Interfacial Adsorption by Ethanolamine-Based Eutectic Electrolyte Toward Byproducts-Free Zinc Anode

Key Points

• The central aim is to enhance the stability of zinc anodes by regulating solvation and adsorption processes with eutectic electrolytes.
• Designed ethanolamine-based hydrated eutectic electrolytes.
• Investigated solvation and interfacial behaviors with zinc anodes.
• Analyzed the impact on dendrite growth and parasitic reactions.
• Ethanolamine-based electrolytes significantly reduced dendrite formation.
• Stabilized the zinc anode by enhancing interfacial adsorption.
• Minimized water-induced parasitic reactions on the anode.
