Abstract

In aqueous Zn-I 2 batteries, the low conductivity of iodine, slow redox kinetics, and shuttle effects of polyiodides seriously limit their practical application.Therefore, constructing efficient host materials for iodine storage is key to addressing these issues.This review analyzes the reaction mechanisms of iodine cathodes and explores the problems present during their reactions.Research progress on various iodine cathode host materials is reviewed and the relationship of their composition and structure to their electrochemical performance is discussed.Strategies to design materials with enhanced iodine redox reactions are proposed.Finally, to accelerate the practical application of Zn-I 2 batteries, suggestions for future research are given from the perspectives of multi-electron system exploration, iodine conversion mechanism analysis, iodine host material development and anode optimization.
