Aqueous <i>vs.</i> nonaqueous Zn-ion batteries: consequences of the desolvation penalty at the interface

Abstract

Comparison of intercalation of Zn²⁺ in layered V₃O₇·H₂O in non-aqueous and aqueous electrolytes reveals a much higher desolvation penalty at the non-aqueous interface, a major factor in dictating the kinetics.
