Abstract Zn batteries potentially offer the highest energy density among aqueous that are inherently safe, inexpensive, and sustainable. However, most cathode materials in suffer from capacity fading, particularly at a low current rate. Herein, it is shown ZnCl 2 “water‐in‐salt” electrolyte (WiSE) addresses this fading problem to large extent by facilitating unprecedented performance of battery Ca 0.20 V O 5 ∙0.80H O.

Hard carbon as an anode is critical for the near-future commercialization of Na-ion batteries. However, where Na ions are located at different states charge with respect to local structures hard remains a topic that under debate. Recently, some groups, including ours, have suggested structure–property correlation assigns slope capacity in galvanostatic charge/discharge curves binding structural defects carbon. To test this correlation, herein, we prepared highly defective by microwaving was...
