Tailoring water structure with high-tetrahedral-entropy for antifreezing electrolytes and energy storage at −80 °C

The anti-freezing property of electrolyte is crucial for aqueous batteries under extreme conditions. Here authors explore the relationship between tetrahedral entropy and the freezing behavior of aqueous electrolyte, and further develop anti-freezing electrolyte for aqueous zinc ion batteries.
