Overcoming Obstacles in Zn‐Ion Batteries Development: Application of Conductive Redox‐Active Polypyrrole/Tiron Anolyte Interphase
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract This study is focused on overcoming obstacles in the implementation of metallic Zn for zinc‐ion batteries. The major limiting factors of Zn anodes include dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution, and by‐product formation. Herein, the challenges are addressed by the application of a redox‐active electrode‐electrolyte interphase. Cationic polypyrrole(PPy)/anionic Tiron anolyte is formulated as the mixed conducting interphase to push the limits of zinc‐based energy storage. The doping/de‐doping behavior of PPy stimulates the surface adsorption/desorption of Tiron attributed to the ion‐induced nucleation. Testing results show that PPy as a passivating corrosive‐resistant layer improves the interfacial stability of Zn metal; while releasing the redox‐active anolyte boosts the charge transfer of cells by the phenol‐quinone transformations. The Zn//Zn cells demonstrate an improved life from 50 to 2500 cycles with a reduced overpotential at 2 mA cm−2 and 1 mAh cm−2. In situ UV–vis spectroscopic measurements, combined with density functional theory calculations, address the redox mechanisms of PPy/Tiron anolyte. The testing of α‐MnO2//Zn cells shows that the PPy/Tiron anolyte exhibits enhanced capacity and rate performance due to the pseudocapacitive effects. This study unveils a conceptually new approach based on the modification of conducting polymer with redox‐active dopants toward the fabrication of high‐performance Zn‐anolyte batteries.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
