The text discusses the growing interest in zinc-ion battery (ZIB) technology and the need to study various zinc electrolytes, focusing on their chemical properties and how these properties change under different electrical potentials.
It compares the performance of three electrolytes: ZnSO, ZnOTF, and a zinc/Li hybrid electrolyte, while also examining the effects of adding acetonitrile to these systems.
Advanced techniques like ATR-SEIRAS and EQCM-D were used to monitor changes at the electrolyte/electrode interface, revealing insights into the formation of solid electrolyte interphases and the implications for the batteries' stability and performance.
