Abstract

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), with the merits of high safety, environmental friendliness, abundant resources, and competitive energy density are recognized as a promising secondary battery technology and are anticipated to be a great alternative to organic lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the commercial application of AZIBs is severely hindered by intractable issues, including high desolvation barrier, sluggish ion transport kinetics, growth of zinc dendrite, and side reactions. Nowadays, cellulosic materials are frequently employed in the fabrication of advanced AZIBs, because of the intrinsically excellent hydrophilicity, strong mechanical strength, sufficient active groups, and unexhaustible production. In this paper, we start from reviewing the success and dilemma of organic LIBs, followed by introducing the next-generation power source of AZIBs. After summarizing the features of cellulose with great potential in advanced AZIBs, we comprehensively and logically analyze the applications and superiorities of cellulosic materials in AZIBs electrodes, separators, electrolytes, and binders with an in-depth perspective. Finally, a clear outlook is delivered for future development of cellulose in AZIBs. Hopefully, this review can offer a smooth avenue for future direction of AZIBs by means of cellulosic material design and structure optimization.
