Prof. Yunhui Huang’s Group Leads the Way in Battery Innovation: Key Research Highlights (2025)-2 11. Journal of the American Chemical Society: Kinetics Compensation Mechanism in Cosolvent Electrolyte Strategy for Aqueous Zinc Batteries Professor Yunhui Huang’s team from Huazhong University of Science and Technology has addressed the inevitable kinetic losses associated with the introduction of co-solvents. They proposed a kinetic compensation mechanism designed to weaken cation-anion interactions and increase the Zn2+ transference number, thereby partially offsetting the kinetic degradation caused by co-solvents. Using an Zn(OTf)2 based aqueous electrolyte containing ethylene carbonate (EC) as a model system, the team demonstrated the effectiveness of this strategy in achieving kinetic compensation and enhancing the
