Abstract

Zinc metal batteries (ZMBs) hold great promise for large-scale energy storage in renewable solar and wind farms. However, their widespread application is hindered by poor stability and unsatisfactory low-temperature performance, attributed to issues such as dendrite formation, strong Zn2+-H2O coordination, and electrolyte freezing. Herein, a deep eutectic sol electrolyte (DESE) is proposed by mixing SiO2 nanoparticles with a solution composed of 1,3-dioxolane (DOL) and Zn(ClO4)(2)6H(2)O for stable low-temperature ZMBs. By substituting the strong Zn2+- H2O coordination with favorable Zn2+-DOL coordination, the DESE exhibits exceptional antifreezing capability at temperatures beyond -40 degrees C. The formation of Si-O-Zn2+ bond near SiO2 nanoparticles further improves the low-temperature performance of the DESE by decreasing Zn2+ desolvation energy. Moreover, the SiO2 nanoparticles co-plating/co-stripping with Zn metal, forming a reversible and homogeneous SiO2-enriched interphase to protect the Zn anode from dendrite growth and interfacial side reactions. Remarkably, the DESE-based ZMB full cells exhibit significantly prolonged cycle life of 8000 cycles at 1 A g(-1) at 25 degrees C and 700 cycles at 0.2 A g(-1) at -40 degrees C. This work provides a promising strategy to design advanced electrolytes for practical low-temperature ZMBs.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
