Aqueous sodium-zinc hybrid ion batteries are attracting extensive attention due to high energy density, low cost, and environmental friendliness. Unfortunately, there are still some drawbacks associated with the low voltage and cycle performance degradation that limit their practical application. Here, a concentrated aqueous electrolyte with solvation-modulated Zn is reported that reduces the hydrogen evolution reaction on the surface of Zn metal, avoiding the generation of ZnO and uneven deposition. Accordingly, the Zn anode exhibits 1600 h Zn plating/stripping and ≈99.96% Coulombic efficiency after 700 cycles. In addition, solvation-modulated Na promotes the excellent structural stability of zinc hexacyanoferrate (ZnHCF) due to the rhombohedral-rhombohedral rather than rhombohedral-cubic phase transition. A ZnHCF//Zn full cell delivers an average voltage of 1.76 V and 98% capacity retention after 2000 cycles at 5 C rates.

Aqueous Zn battery has been a promising alternative battery in large-scale energy storage systems due to its cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and intrinsic safety. However, its cycle life is impeded by the dendrite formation, severe corrosion, and side reactions on the zinc metal anode. Most coatings on the zinc surface extend the life span of zinc anodes but have drawbacks in Zn ion conductivity.

In aqueous zinc-based batteries, the reaction by-product ZnSO(OH)·xHO is commonly observed when cycling vanadium-based and manganese-based cathodes. This by-product obstructs ion transport paths, resulting in enhanced electrochemical impedance. In this work, we report a hybrid aqueous battery based on a NaMnO cathode and a metallic zinc foil anode.
