Quasi-solid-state Zn-ion batteries (QSSZIBs) with gel electrolytes hold practical promise to deliver a high energy density because of their high safety and ionic conductivity of gel electrolytes. However, the sluggish and the low selectivity of Zn ion transportation leads to unsatisfactory cycle lif...
