Zusammenfassung: | To conquer severe dendrites formation and side reactions of zinc metal anodes, which are serious obstacles for the practical applications of aqueous zinc ion battery (ZIB), herein, we develop a sodium allysulfonate (SAS) and acrylamide (AM) copolymer by radical polymerization process (crosslinking of C=C) as solid-state electrolyte. The interface kinetics is improved remarkably due to the high adhesion and excellent ion transferability of AM-SAS (AS) copolymers. Especially the sulfonic acid group in the hydrogel electrolyte can enhance the internal ionic conductivity effectively benefiting from its high affinity to Zn

flow in atomic-scale, thus leading to controllable deposition of Zn onto the dendrite-free Zn anodes. Consequently, the AS-1.5 electrolyte achieves ultra-stable Zn deposition/stripping behaviors with the lifespan over 1,000 h via the suppression of side-reactions and paralleled Zn deposition. High performances of Zn/Mn-doped V

This molecular regulation engineering opens a novel route for hydrogel electrolyte fabrication, where sulfonic groups perform as media of Zn
