Eutectic Crystallization Activates Solid-State Zinc-Ion Conduction

© 2021 Wiley-VCH GmbH..

Solid-state zinc (Zn) batteries offer a new candidate for emerging applications sensitive to volume, safety and cost. However, current solid polymeric or ceramic electrolyte structures remain poorly conductive for the divalent Zn2+ , especially at room temperature. Constructing a heterogeneous interface which allows Zn2+ percolation is a viable option, but this is rarely involved in multivalent systems. Herein, we construct a solid Zn2+ -ion conductor by inducing crystallization of tailored eutectic liquids formed by organic Zn salts and bipolar ligands. High-entropy eutectic-networks weaken the ion-association and form interfacial Zn2+ -percolated channels on the nucleator surfaces, resulting in a solid crystal with exceptional selectivity for Zn2+ transport (t Zn 2 + =0.64) and appreciable Zn2+ conductivity (σ Zn 2 + =3.78×10-5  S cm-1 at 30 °C, over 2 orders of magnitude higher than conventional polymers), and finally enabling practical ambient-temperature Zn/V2 O5 metal solid cells. This design principle leveraged by the eutectic solidification affords new insights on the multivalent solid electrochemistry suffering from slow ion migration.
