Designing effective electrode material is crucial for developing ultra-long lifetime batteries, thereby reducing daily battery costs. Current electrode materials are typically solid or liquid state, with an intermediate colloidal state offering the advantages of fixed redox-active species, akin to solid-state materials, and the absence of rigid atomic structure, akin to liquid-state materials, while avoiding the particle pulverization and uncontrolled migration. Herein, an aqueous Zn||Pluronic F127 (PF127)/ZnI colloid battery is developed utilizing the inherent water molecular control effect of ZnSO. In this system, ZnSO in the electrolyte acts as a water molecular valve, regulating the water content within the PF127 polymer to form a PF127 colloid. The resulting aqueous Zn||PF127/ZnI colloid battery exhibits an ultra-long cycling lifetime and compatibility with various simulated and practical operating conditions, highlighting its potential for practical applications. Additionally, this battery design concept offers a platform for constructing ultra-stable aqueous batteries.

Manganese oxide (MnO) cathodes with a Zn/H co-intercalation mixing mechanism have exhibited great potential for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) owing to their high energy density and optimal electrolyte suitability. However, the strong electrostatic interactions and slow kinetics between the high charge density zinc ions and the fixed lattice in conventional cathodes have hindered the development of AZIBs. Hence, selecting H with a smaller ionic radius and reduced electrostatic repulsion as carriers was a feasible strategy.

Current solid- and liquid-state electrode materials with extreme physical states show inherent limitation in achieving the ultra-stable batteries. Herein, we present a colloidal electrode design with an intermediate physical state to integrate the advantages of both solid- and liquid-state materials. The colloidal electrode was designed based on the inherent water competition effect of (SO) from the aqueous electrolyte and inherently water-soluble polyethylene glycol (PEG)/ZnI from the cathode.

Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) are experiencing rapid development due to their high theoretical capacity, abundant zinc resources, and intrinsic safety. However, the progress of AZIBs is hindered by uncontrollable parasitic reactions and excessive dendrite growth, which compromise the durability and effective utilization of zinc metal anodes. To address these challenges, the study has constructed a 3D crosslinked macromolecular network composed of zinc ion-bonded potato starch (StZ) as an interface layer on Zn foil (StZ-Zn) to inhibit hydrogen evolution, regulate Zn flux, and ensure uniform Zn deposition.
