Abstract

Due to its high theoretical capacity (820 mAh g−1), low standard electrode potential (− 0.76 V vs. SHE), excellent stability in aqueous solutions, low cost, environmental friendliness and intrinsically high safety, zinc (Zn)-based batteries have attracted much attention in developing new energy storage devices. In Zn battery system, the battery performance is significantly affected by the solid electrolyte interface (SEI), which is controlled by electrode and electrolyte, and attracts dendrite growth, electrochemical stability window range, metallic Zn anode corrosion and passivation, and electrolyte mutations. Therefore, the design of SEI is decisive for the overall performance of Zn battery systems. This paper summarizes the formation mechanism, the types and characteristics, and the characterization techniques associated with SEI. Meanwhile, we analyze the influence of SEI on battery performance, and put forward the design strategies of SEI. Finally, the future research of SEI in Zn battery system is prospected to seize the nature of SEI, improve the battery performance and promote the large-scale application.


Highlights:


1 The formation mechanism of solid electrolyte interface (SEI) is analyzed based on charge distributions at the electrode/electrolyte interface and molecular orbital theory.
2 The factors affecting the formation of SEI are generalized from four aspects: Zn anode, electrolyte, current density and temperature.
3 The design strategies for SEI layer are proposed from regulating temperature, electric and magnetic fields.
