Abstract

The invention discloses an aqueous zinc ion battery electrolyte and application thereof. The aqueous zinc ion battery electrolyte disclosed by the invention contains solvent water, high-concentrationelectrolyte salt and zinc salt;the zinc salt is a water-soluble salt; the high-concentration electrolyte salt is potassium bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide and/or potassium trifluoromethanesulfonate, and themass molar concentration is not less than 10mol/kg. According to the electrolyte, due to the fact that high-concentration potassium bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide and/or potassium trifluoromethanesulfonate are/is added, a large number of water molecules in the electrolyte can be consumed due to the strong solvation effect, the hydration effect of zinc ions is reduced, and zinc dendrites formed by thezinc ions in dissolution and deposition are inhibited; in addition, the strong solvation effect of the high-concentration electrolyte salt and solvent water molecules can reduce the electrochemical activity of the water molecules, improve the electrochemical window of the electrolyte, reduce the hydrogen evolution reaction, reduce the dissolution effect of zinc, inhibit the decomposition of the water molecules on the surface of the electrode, reduce the corrosion dissolution of the zinc negative electrode and prolong the cycle life of the aqueous zinc ion battery.
