Unfortunately, ZIBs batteries suffer from the insulating iodine, low utilization ratio of active source, and the shuttle effect, resulting in the fast capacity decay and undesirable self-discharging ...
As demand for safe, low-cost and grid-scale storage keeps climbing, aqueous Zn–I 2 batteries attract intense attention yet are dogged by polyiodide shuttling and sluggish iodine conversion. Now, ...

The reaction of zinc metal with iodine shows direct combination, decomposition, recrystallization of sublimed I2, and electrolysis.
Recently, iodine has been increasingly used with zinc anodes to fabricate sustainable zinc–iodine (Zn–I 2) batteries (ZIBs) due to its high redox potential (I 2 /I-, 0.62 V vs. standard hydrogen ...
