A four-electron Zn-I2 aqueous battery enabled by reversible I−/I2/I+ conversion

Electrochemically reversible redox couples that embrace more electron transfer at a higher potential are desired for high energy density batteries. Here, the authors report a four-electron aqueous zinc-iodine battery by boosting the iodine electrochemistry in deliberately designed electrolytes.
