The practical implementation of aqueous zinc-iodine batteries (ZIBs) is hindered by the rampant Zn dendrites growth, parasite corrosion, and polyiodide shuttling. In this work, ionic liquid EMIM[OAc] is employed as an all-round solution to mitigate challenges on both the Zn anode and the iodine cath...
