Structure-Function Relationships of Biomass-Derived Materials for Zinc Metal Protection.

ABSTRACT: Aqueous zinc-ion batteries have attracted significant attention for large-scale energy storage applications, yet their practical implementation is fundamentally limited by zinc anode stability. This review first establishes a comprehensive understanding of zinc degradation mechanisms, revealing how ion transport, solvation dynamics, and electrical double layer structure collectively determine interfacial stability. The fundamental properties and protective mechanisms of biomass-derived materials are systematically analyzed, focusing on four key functional groups: carboxyl, amino, hydroxyl, and sulfonic acid. Through examining their roles in regulating critical interfacial processes, quantitative structure-function relationships are established that reveal optimal interface protection requi
