Abstract

A sorbitol-modified electrolyte (3 wt%) is employed to regulate Zn2+ transport and interfacial reactions in Zn || MnO2 pouch cells. The additive enables stable Zn plating/stripping with low polarization and rapid activation, sustaining over 350 h at high current densities without short-circuiting. The pouch cell delivers ~140–170 mAh g−1 at 1C, with an initial capacity of ~250 mAh g−1 at 0.3C, maintains a stable Coulombic efficiency of ~95%, and operates stably for up to 400 cycles at 1.6C. Kinetic analysis reveals reduced charge-transfer resistance and enhanced ion diffusion, resulting in uniform Zn deposition and suppressed dendrite growth. This simple electrolyte engineering strategy provides a practical route for the fabrication of durable, high-performance aqueous Zn-ion pouch batteries.
