Abstract

The growing demand for electric transport and renewable energy sources has increased the need for lithium-ion batteries. However, the high production cost and safety concerns necessitate the study of alternative energy storage systems. This study explores the synthesis and properties of hydrogel electrolytes for hybrid aqueous zinc-ion batteries. Hydrogels were used as both the electrolyte and separator, and their structural stability and ionic conductivity were investigated. By influencing cross-linked polymer networks and regulating hydrogen bonds, the electrochemical stability of hydrogels was enhanced up to 2 V. Test results demonstrated that hydrogels operate efficiently even at low temperatures. This research paves the way for the development of safe and efficient batteries through the improvement of hydrogel electrolytes.
