Here, we discovered a novel crystallized Zn2+ conductor based on inducing crystallization of high-entropy, charge-separated eutectic liquids. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first introduction of the concept of a crystallized eutectic material to achieve dramatically enhanced multivalent-ion transport properties. This facile strategy may also open up opportunities for designing a wide variety of new solid ionic conductors.
Abstract
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
=0.64) and appreciable Zn2+ conductivity (σ
=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/V2O5 metal solid cells. This design principle leveraged by the eutectic solidification affords new insights on the multivalent solid electrochemistry suffering from slow ion migration.
