The present application provides a
zinc-
ion eutectic salt
electrolyte, a battery using the same, and a preparation method thereof. The
zinc-
ion eutectic salt
electrolyte composition of the present application includes: Component A: a
zinc salt, the zinc salt including zinc
chloride; Component B:
cellulose and / or a high-hydroxy-content derivative of
cellulose; and Component C: water. Wherein, the
molar ratio of Component A to Component C is less than or equal to 1:5, the concentration of the zinc salt is greater than or equal to 10 mol / kg, and the weight ratio of Component A to Component B is 1:0.001 to 1:10. This
electrolyte composition has a new coordination structure, in which stable coordination is formed between zinc ions and the hydroxyl groups on the
cellulose polymer, reducing the coordination between zinc ions and water molecules, and having a high zinc concentration. As a result, the zinc-
ion eutectic salt
electrolyte composition exhibits high stability at a high charge-
discharge current density in the
electrochemical window, reducing the occurrence of side reactions such as
hydrogen evolution and zinc
dendrite growth.
