Abstract

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are considered to be a green and safe energy storage system. However, electrolyte leakage, zinc dendrite growth and side reactions are still barriers to their practical application. A quasi-solid sodium alginate gel electrolyte (GE) was designed to alleviate these pain points. To further stabilize the water molecules in this GE and extend its application to subzero temperatures, a disaccharide called trehalose (TreH) was introduced as a multifunctional additive. The rational introduction of TreH notably improved the strength (186.6 kPa) of the sodium alginate GE while retaining a high ionic conductivity (22.4 mS cm−1) at 25 °C. The zinc–polyaniline full battery assembled with this composite GE exhibited a capacity retention of 70.4% after 500 cycles at 25 °C, and still delivered a reversible capacity of 120.6 mA h g−1 at −20 °C. These results show that the sodium alginate GE with trehalose as an additive has great potential for development in AZIBs.
