Spatial Confinement Effect of Mineral‐Based Colloid Electrolyte Enables Stable Interface Reaction for Aqueous Zinc–Manganese Batteries (Adv. Energy Mater. 7/2025)

Aqueous Zinc–Manganese Batteries

Magnesium aluminosilicate-based colloid (MAS-Colloid) electrolyte holds great capability to simultaneously address the issues of zinc dendrite and manganese dissolution for Zn//α-MnO₂ batteries owing to the spatial confinement effect of MAS on the active H₂O molecules. MAS-Colloid electrolyte guarantees rapid zinc nucleation and reversible zinc deposition behavior for Zn anode, and suppressive manganese dissolution and stable interfacial reaction for α-MnO₂ cathode.
